Chelsea news: Todd Boehly's net worth is still on the up even as the Blues falter on the pitch.
Todd Boehly's net worth has continued to rise despite the struggles of Chelsea on and off the pitch in the past 12 months. The American owner has now passed one year in charge of the Blues alongside Clearlake Capital and Hansjorg Wyss.
Under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino Chelsea are aiming to return to the top table of English football after their worst finish in the league for 30 years. It will take better use of resources than has been evident so far, but the latest financial figures indicate success for Boehly personally.
Since taking over Chelsea his net worth has jumped massively from £4.90bn ($6.09bn) to £5.19bn ($6.45b), a rise of £290m ($360m) with that going up £436 ($542m) one year on, according to financial index Bloomberg.
Boehly and Clearlake Capital, headed by Jose Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali, purchased Chelsea in May 2022 for over £4.25bn ($5.28bn) in the biggest takeover of a football club in history. It came after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This year he will now be able to take a back seat as grand plans are put in place to give Pochettino a platform to try and turn things around. The owners are still expected to keep investing in moves with incomings at SW6 expected with most of the outlay so far yet to bring any true rewards.
