Arsenal news: Stan and Josh Kroenke are often pictured in public in America but there is another member of the family who is worth billions
The Kroenke family have gradually imrpoved their reputation at Arsenal in the last 18 months.
After losing trust of the Emirates Stadium faithful in 2021 following the Super League debacle, Stan and Josh Kroenke have done their best to patch up their relationship with supporters.
This season's second-placed finish in the Premier League was the Gunners' highest since 2016, marking their return to the Champions League. Big-money signings will be made in the summer, with the Kroenke's facing a crucial few months.
Despite many sports fans being used to Stan and son, Josh, there is another member of the Kroenke family that plays a key role.
Ann Walton Kroenke, Stan's wife, is a key cog in the family's business across their sports franchises. Here, football.london takes a look at Mrs. Kroenke's role.
A year younger than her husband, Stan and Ann met on a ski trip in Colorado. The pair married in 1974 and have two children together - Josh and Whitney Ann.
Ann is the daughter of Walmart co-founder James Walton. When her father passed away in 1995, Ann and her sister, Nancy, inherited stock of the retail cooperation. Despite having no involvement in the superstore chain as a board member or an executive, Ann is worth $8.9 billion, according to Forbes.
Her net worth mostly comes from being the owner of NBA side Denver Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche. The two franchises are held in her name though Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.
Ann plays a rather silent role in most of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment's assets. That part of the company is left to Stan and Josh, as we have seen in England and America.
