Mhusim Bayrack and his net worth: one of the strongest contenders

Since the news of the sale of Chelsea by Roman Abramovich broke, one of the most talked-about candidates has been Bayrack, a Turkish billionaire whose net worth is 9.5 billion euros. 

The billionaire has made his fortune with businesses such as tourism, construction, cryptocurrencies, and energy, in addition to being the founder of AB Group Holding, the company that brings together all his businesses. 

According to Portugal's Récord media, the billionaire has stated, "We made our offer because of the war in Ukraine. As they believe Turkey is safe, they want to get most of the money [from the deal] on Turkish soil. We plan to sign the contract soon." 

Although Chelsea has so far taken no formal position on Bayrack's claims, the Turk continues to sound like the possible new owner of the Premier League champions, but he is not alone in the bidding to buy the world soccer giant. 

Hansjörg Wyss: a health business billonaire

Wyss is an entrepreneur whose empire has been built with investments in the healthcare field, and according to Bloomberg, he is the 246th richest person in the world, with a fortune of approximately 8.9 billion dollars. 

This multimillionaire has not dedicated his entire life to health, as he started in the sale of aircraft, and then moved into the health business with the creation of Synthes, a company that made medical devices to treat fractures and provide bone treatments. 

And this was probably the turning point in his career, as he managed to sell this company to Johnson & Johnson for 19.7 billion dollars, three thousand of these in cash.

However, if Wyss acquires the English club, he will not do it alone, as he has partnered with another billionaire who is also an expert in the sports business.

Todd Boehly: an expert in the world of sports and a partner of Wyss

Boehly's net worth of £4.7 billion is not his main weapon in the bidding for the Blues, but his expertise in the world of sports, as the billionaire is co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and is also a minority partner in the Los Angeles Lakers.

Therefore, his knowledge of the sports world is more than proven as both franchises are among the most successful in the MLS and NBA, respectively. 

The now billionaire started working in credit companies and at one point in his life began to invest in other sectors such as entertainment, and even telecommunications. 

He would later invest in life insurance, technology, and the food industry, before moving into sports, where his fortune grew.

This is not Boehly's first attempt to acquire a Premier League club, as in the past he tried unsuccessfully to buy Tottenham. 

What is Chelsea's net worth?

According to information from North American media, Abramovich values Chelsea at US$4 billion, a value that reflects the growth of the club in the hands of the Russian businessman. 

When Abramovich bought the club 19 years ago, he did so with a value of $180 million. But the really curious thing is that before him, the previous owner bought the club for just £1, at £1.5 billion.
