Sheikh tops football rich list
The 40-year-old’s vast fortune is estimated to have risen by £3 billion (€3.4bn) to €20bn (€22.7bn), moving him back in front of QPR shareholder Lakshmi Mittal, whose fortune has dipped to £17bn (€19.3bn).
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, whose wealth once dwarfed all other fortunes on the list, has now dropped as far as fourth – displaced by Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, whose estate has exploded to rise from £1.3bn to £8bn (€9.1bn).
