RANKED: Every Championship club owner(s) net worth

As the Championship continues to grow and attract players from Europe’s top divisions, the net worth of the clubs’ owners continues to soar.

With the rise of the Premier League to becoming the richest and most powerful league in the world, the Championship has followed suit in its rise with some incredibly eye-catching players and mind-blowing transfer fees that only a matter of years ago would’ve seemed impossible.

But such is the lure of English football now and the riches that the Premier League holds, the second tier has attracted vast interest from some of the richest all around the world.

Although it must be said, the higher net worth an owner boasts doesn’t always correlate to the success of the side on the pitch or even how they operate in the transfer window, with some clubs’ position on the list sure to be a surprise.
