Premier League Rich List - Where Mike Ashley and The Reuben Brothers rank

Controversial Newcastle United club owner, Mike Ashley, ranks 12^th out of 20 clubs in the Premier League rich list.

Ashley has owned Newcastle United since 2007, and since then has maintained a consistent ranking on the Premier League rich list. Ashley’s estimated net worth is £2.66 billion.

Who is Ashley ranked higher than?

Ashley’s financial ranking (based off the end of 2020’s predicted net worth), places him above Liverpool owner John Henry (valued at £2.35 billion) by £31 million.

As well as Liverpool, Ashley’s net worth places him higher than Farhad Moshiri’s Everton (£1.9 billion) and lowest-ranked Mike Garlick with Burnley (£62 million).

Ashley also ranks higher than all three newly promoted teams, Brentford, Norwich and Watford.

Who is Ashley ranked lower than?

Ashley’s estimated net worth of £2.66 billion places him £34 million behind 11^th highest, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, owner of Leicester Football Club, whose current value is £3 billion.

Slightly beyond that in 10^th is Southampton owner, Gao Jisheng, valued at £3.1 billion.

The Reuben Brothers, who are said to be in talks with Ashley over taking Newcastle United over as part of a consortium, have a net worth of £16 billion.

Should that takeover be successful, the brothers would become the second richest owners (or part-owners) of a Premier League club, beaten only by Manchester City and Sheikh Mansour, with an estimated net worth of £23.3 billion.

Local rivals and their net worth

Sunderland FC, while leagues away from reaching Newcastle, are closing the financial gap.

New owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is valued at £1.4 billion.

Middlesbrough find themselves in the league above Sunderland F.C. but far lower in the financial rankings as owner Steve Gibson is valued at an estimated £189 million.
