top 10 most insanely rich football clubs
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get

this list we’re looking at clubs that
are financial powerhouses we’ll be
considering a few things here including
the spending power that each Club has
aka how rich their owners are as well as
how much revenue they make from
merchandise sales TV deals et cetera and
finally given that most football clubs
even those that make the most money
operate while taking on debt will be
looking past said debt in this case and
focusing solely on the money they bring
in and the money that backs them o clubs
with the most debt could be a list for
another day number 10 Inter Milan though
Inter Milan has gone through a bit of a
roller coaster of fortunes on the pitch
since their treble-winning 2009-10
season they started winning in the
financial department in June of 2016 how
well the blue side of Milan was subject
of a takeover bid by Chinese company
soon in sports media witches recently as
2018 was valued at 2.6 billion dollars
and in the team’s revenue of 300 and 2.5
million dollars from 2017 and that
translated to a whole lot of recruitment
for their squad prior to the 2018 19
season despite financial Fairplay rules
restricting them a whole lot of loans
number 9 Liverpool FC here
sure Liverpool has made some frivolous
signings in the past but nothing in
comparison to some of their English
Premier League rivals however once they
were taken over by the 2.5 billion
dollar valued Fenway Sports Group in
2010
they were able to make even more
frivolous signings Andy Carroll anyone
we jest Liverpool fans in fact with the
ushering in of Jurgen Klopp Liverpool’s
revenues began to climb as well thus
leading to even better players coming to
the club and even higher transfer bills
well at least Liverpool’s return to the
Champions League coupled with their
consistent ticket sales and excellent TV
deals in the Premier League helped them
to amass four hundred and eighty nine
point six million dollars in 2017 alone
wow that must have bought a lot of bowls
of Scouse number eight Juventus FC the
most successful club in the history of
Italian football Juventus is also a
mainstay on the European stage and if
you haven’t guessed it by now that works
wonders in the financial department
owned by the majorly minted Agnelli
family who also have principal
investments in major car companies such
as fear and Ferrari you they have never
shied away from spending money in the
transfer market in fact you ventus’s
shares climbed by 25%
once megastar cristiano ronaldo joined
them in 2018 for 115 million dollars not
including additional fees again thanks
to Ronaldo Juventus sold about 60
million dollars in shirt sales with all
of this considered it would be
interesting to see if they can smash
their record revenue of four hundred and
seventy million dollars from 2017 number
seven FC Bayern Munich Bayern Munich
make a ton of money not only are they
historically the most supported team in
Germany and the most successful but the
richest as well in 2017 they raked in an
astonishing revenue of six hundred and
eighty million dollars from merchandise
matchday sales sponsorships and TV deals
oh and of course
being the team with the second most
amount of appearances in the UEFA
Champions League doesn’t here either
given the German teams are barred from
outside investors taking over the club
with their endless amounts of fortune
this makes Bayern Munich’s self-made
riches even more impressive number six
FC Barcelona speaking of ownership some
Spanish clubs like Barcelona and their
rivals Real Madrid operates in a similar
manner to those in Germany in which the
club belongs to its socios or club
members these club members pay a
membership fee in order to have the
right to vote on matters regarding the
governance of the club like choosing a
club president with bankable security so
of course
Barcelona doesn’t have a billionaire
backing it they do however make an
incredible amount of money through
sponsorship deals global TV rights
micchon dice sales and tickets so much
in fact that Barcelona made a whopping
750 million dollars in revenue in 2017
with Leonel Messi as the face of the
club they’ll be in the money for a long
time
number five Chelsea FC remember the
mid-2000s when football pundits and fans
alike we’re blasting Chelsea for how
much money they were spending on players
and attributing them to destroying
football well if only they knew how much
more football and finances were going to
mutate into the beasts that they are now
Roman Abramovich who’s estimated to be
with eleven point nine billion dollars
bought Chelsea in June of 2003 and there
has been a revolving door of managers
and player personnel ever since all of
that spending has ensured that Chelsea
is tied with Manchester United as the
most successful English side since the
Abramovich era began winning five
Premier League titles and a Champions
League the more success they’ve had the
more funds they’ve accrued worldwide
which helped them make
over 490 million dollars in revenue in
2017 alone number for rail Madrid CF
historically Louis blanka’s are always
associated with paying to have the best
players in the world at their disposal
in the 60s it was Ferenc puskás and
Alfredo di stéfano
but once club president Florentino
pérez’s reign began it was all about the
Galacticos Luis Figo zinedine zidane
David Beckham Roberto Carlos both of the
Renaldo’s and many many more some of the
biggest most well-known names in
football have warned the white of Real
Madrid and brought them tons of cash in
the process
thanks to merchandise sales and big
money sponsorship deals which amounted
to 777 million dollars in revenue as
recently as 2017 given that they
operates on the same ownership model as
FC Barcelona they don’t have big foreign
investors looks like they’re doing fine
without no number three Manchester
United FC speaking of successful English
clubs there’s no denying that Manchester
United is exactly that with the most
League titles second most FA Cup
victories and second most European Cup
titles as well in 2004 their success led
to the gradual takeover of the club by
American Sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer
whose family business is estimated to be
worth about 4.5 billion dollars nowadays
given that United is a household name
their fans are everywhere fans who will
buy merchandise pay exorbitant amounts
of money to see them live and whose
support worldwide leads to lucrative TV
deals all of this combined led to an
eye-watering 780 million dollars in
revenue in 2017 alone more revenue than
any other club worldwide but there are
some very minted owners out there so of
my cats
number two Manchester City FC prior to
2008 Manchester City fans were stuck in
a long 40-year cycle of just getting by
but then the Abu Dhabi United Group came
along and purchased the club for 272
million dollars invested in the squad
and facilities heavily and the rest is
history
the man at the top of the food chain in
this case is Sheikh Mansour who has an
estimated net worth of 22 billion
dollars and just as a side note his
family is estimated to have a fortune of
at least one trillion dollars bird all
of this investment led to city’s first
three Premier League titles Champions
League football 1 FA Cup 3 League Cups
and a massive growth in popularity
worldwide which raked in six hundred and
eight million dollars for the blue side
of Manchester before we get to our most
financially gifted club here are a few
honorable mentions
number one Paris saint-germain FC PSG
was a decent club in France before a
massive takeover bid made them the club
in France in 2011 Qatar eSports
investments who are valued today at an
estimated three hundred and thirty eight
billion dollars became the major
shareholders of the capital city club
from there there has been a constant
stream of investment in the squad with
the most notable signings being
Brazilian starlets Neymar for 255
million dollars and World Cup winner
Kilian umber pay for 207 million dollars
clearly PSG has money and ons of right
suspended as Neymar became the most
expensive player of all time and umber
pay the second PS G’s money from their
Qatari onus is seemingly endless and the
five hundred and sixty million dollars
they made from all revenue streams in
2017 deepens their pockets even further
