Alan Pace net worth – £190m
Burnley
Starting the countdown are Burnley, with owner Alan Pace in charge since 2018, helping the Clarets make a swift return to the Premier League after their relegation in 2021/22 and again in 2024/25.
It is stated that his current net worth is around £190m.
19
Matthew Benham net worth – £220m
Brentford
Brentford feel like one of the best-run clubs in the Premier League, spending within their means and building a superb new stadium, and much of that is down to the brilliance of owner Matthew Benham.
The 57-year-old also owns Danish side FC Midtjylland and is renowned for making his fortune through companies such as Matchbook and Smartodds.
18
Tony Bloom net worth – £1.3bn
Brighton & Hove Albion
Like Brentford, there is something that feels seamless about the manner in which Brighton operate on a daily basis, and owner Tony Bloom deserves a huge amount of praise for that.
He is a lifelong Seagulls supporter and acquired the club way back in 2009, leading them all the way to the Premier League and making them an established top-flight club.
17
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus net worth – £2bn
Sunderland
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus became the youngest chairman in English football when he took over at Sunderland back in 2021 at the age of just 23.
The Swiss owner has since helped transform the Black Cats off the pitch, helping them finally return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence.
16
William P. Foley net worth – £2.1bn
Bournemouth
Bournemouth almost feel like the minnows of the Premier League in many ways, perhaps due to the size of the Vitality Stadium, but they have an owner worth over £2bn.
William P. Foley is an American billionaire who also owns ice hockey outfit Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL, not to mention Ligue 1 side FC Lorient.
15
Evangelos Marinakis net worth – £3.3bn
Nottingham Forest
Up next are Nottingham Forest and their unmissible leader Evangelous Marinakis, who certainly hasn’t played it safe when it comes to transfers, giving the Reds lots of new players since their return to the Premier League.
His net worth of over £3bn is a vast amount, and he also owns Greek giants Olympiakos.
14
Woody Johnson, David Blitzer, Josh Harris, Steve Parish net worth – £4.3bn
Crystal Palace
Completing the bottom half are Crystal Palace, who have done well to become a solid Premier League team more likely to finish around mid-table than in the relegation zone, while also lifting the FA Cup title in 2025.
One of the co-owners, Josh Harris, is also the main man at NHL side New Jersey Devils and NBA outfit Philadelphia 76ers, while Steve Parish has been in his role as chairman since 2010.
13
Guo Guangchang, Liang Xinjun, Wang Qunbin (FOSUN) net worth – £4.4bn
Wolves
Guo Guangchang has been a transformative figure at Wolves since becoming their owner in 2016, at a point when they were still languishing in the Championship.
Since then, they have had their ups and downs in the Premier League, but the £45m that he acquired Wanderers for pales into insignificance when comparing it to their current valuation.
12
Joe Lewis, Daniel Levy net worth – £4.5bn
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham are still fronted by Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis, with the former still very much the more prominent face of the club, even though the latter has the bigger share.
There has been frustration that managers haven’t been given enough money to spend, given the wealth of the owners, which, when you look at their fortunes, may seem fair. However, Spurs did finally end their long wait for a trophy by lifting the Europa League in 2025.
11
49ers Enterprises net worth – £5.2bn
Leeds United
The 49ers Enterprises have been involved with Leeds United since 2018 but completed a majority takeover in 2023 following the club’s relegation to the Championship.
Since then, the American investment group, who have some high-profile names such as actor Will Ferrell and golfers Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, have helped take Leeds back to the top flight.
