Roman Abramovich won't be the owner of Chelsea Football Club for much longer, it seems.

The Russian was already looking to sell the club before he was sanctioned by the UK government. Now, the process will be handled by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and Abramovich won't receive a penny of the proceeds.

Offers are currently being submitted to New York merchant bank Raine Group who will handle the sale of the club with Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers part-owner Todd Boehly alongside Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss both reportedly interested.

But before Chelsea get its new chief, we decided to take a look at the 20 current owners in the Premier League right now and rank them based on how rich they are.
