World Top 10 Football Club With the Richest Owners

Newcastle United is now officially the football club with the richest owner.

As an illustration, PIF's wealth is ten times greater than that of the billionaire owner of Manchester City, Sheikh Mansour.

PIF has a wealth 50 times greater than the wealth of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Here's a list of the 10 world football clubs with the richest owners:

1. PIF - Newcastle United

The net worth of Mohammed bin Salman, the leader of the PIF, is around £13 billion.

However, it should be noted that this amount is the personal property of Mohammed bin Salman, while the Saudi Arabian royal family is believed to have a net worth of £1.3 trillion.

This amount is far greater than the net worth of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family is believed to be around £500 billion.

Meanwhile, The Independent said the total wealth of PIF reached 320 billion pounds. This amount is greater than the wealth of the Qatar Investment Authority which owns PSG which only reaches 220 billion pounds.
