The stunning £489bn ‘net worth’ of Newcastle United’s owners compared to Everton, Aston Villa & co

Mike Ashley’s reign as Newcastle United owner came to an end in October 2021 when the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, RB Sports and Media and PCP Capital Partners, led by Amanda Staveley, acquired the club in a deal worth £305m. That deal was one of the most high-profile football club takeovers ever, with only Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell Chelsea that can rank alongside the Newcastle United takeover deal.

More recently, Everton have finally had their protracted takeover saga come to an end with Daniel Friedkin ending Farhad Moshiri’s tenure as owner. The Toffees, with David Moyes back at the helm, look like they have survived the drop and can begin planning for a new season in the top-flight in their new Bramley Moore Dock Stadium.

Having rich owners doesn’t guarantee success on the pitch, though, see Manchester United’s trials and tribulations over the last year or so since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought a minority stake in the club. And the Premier League’s current financial restrictions mean that whilst the Magpies have the richest owners in the division, they are unable to spend money as they please.

Here, we take a look at the reported net worth of all 20 Premier League club owners. Note, all figures have been taken from a wide range of sources.
