Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’ reported net worth among Premier League owners | OneFootball

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has overseen a revival at Sunderland, and attention now turns to where his reported wealth sits among Premier League owners.

According to Sunderland Echo, his reported net worth is £2 billion, placing Sunderland 15th of 20. The list is topped by Newcastle United’s Saudi Public Investment Fund and RB Sports & Media on £1.2 trillion, with Liverpool’s Fenway Sports Group plus Jeff Bezos consortium on £365 billion and Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi United Group and Silver Lake third on £24 billion.

Sunderland sit between Bournemouth on £1.9 billion and Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, each on £5.1 billion. The lowest reported fortunes are Brentford at £216 million, Hull City at £225 million and Coventry City at £317 million, while Brighton are listed on £1.3 billion.

Louis-Dreyfus became a minority shareholder and chairman in February 2021, then moved to majority control just over 16 months later. That followed promotion to the Championship, secured by a League One play-off final win over Wycombe Wanderers.

Sunderland then earned promotion to the Premier League by beating Sheffield United in last May’s play-off final. They finished seventh in their first season back in the top flight in nine years, qualifying for this season’s Europa League.

The comparison comes as the most exciting season of his reign continues.
