2. Roman Abramovich – Chelsea FC
Net worth: $9.1 billion (£5.5 billion)
One of the most prominent Russian oligarchs to grace English football is Roman Abramovich, who took the keys to Chelsea FC from Ken Bates in 2003.
Since then, he has invested upwards of £700 million strengthening the squad, earning three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, a Europa League and a Champions League trophy.
Within Russia, Abramovich has held several government positions but built his empire through the steel, airline and energy industries.
