We all know that Chelsea have turned into one of the current wealthiest clubs in the world right now after their big takeover.
Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, and other partners and investors bought the club off Roman Abramovich as the UK Government placed sanctions on the Russian billionaire.

But the club went to very good hands, and very wealthy hands.
The Financial Times claimed that ‘Clearlake finances’ made up ‘about two-thirds of the purchase’ of Chelsea.
Jose E Feliciano, who plays a rather silent role compared to Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, has seen his net worth increase by $1.3 billion in the last two years. The businessman co founded Clearlake Capital in 2005 with Eghbali and is co-controlling owner of the Blues.
According to Forbes, Feliciano’s net worth has shot up to $3.4bn from $2.1bn in 2020. Forbes lists the Chelsea co-controlling owner as the 244th richest American – 60 behind Boehly.
