10. Shahid Khan
Net worth: $4.1 billion (£2.5 billion)
Pakistani-American businessman Shahid Kahn bought the Jacksonville Jaguars in his native Florida in 2012 and added to his portfolio of slightly underwhelming sports teams with his purchase of Fulham in July 2013.
The purchase price of the club was never formally revealed, but it was thought to be in the region of $200 million (£119 million).
