Notes

edit
  1. ^ While the personal wealth of Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is used here, Manchester City are controlled by Abu Dhabi United Group, which internal documents suggest is ultimately managed by the government of the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, as Manchester City are controlled by companies considered state-controlled, the concept of 'net worth' is purposeless and does not apply. The actual value of the controlling entities are ultimately impossible to even guess at. The figures included are simply included as a reference point, and should therefore be taken at face value at best.
  2. ^ As Newcastle United are controlled by companies considered state-owned, the concept of 'net worth' is purposeless and does not apply. The actual value of the controlling entities are ultimately impossible to even guess at. The figures included are simply included as a reference point, and should therefore be taken at face value at best.
  3. ^ The direct parent company of the club was W.W. (1990) Limited, which was acquired by Prestige Century Holdings Limited; Prestige Century was a subsidiary of Fosun Management Holdings Limited; Fosun Management Holdings was a subsidiary of Fosun International; Fosun International, a listed company of Hong Kong, is a subsidiary of Fosun International Holdings, which was majority owned by Guo Guangchang, Liang Xinjun and Wang Qunbin
