CHELSEA'S new proposed owner Todd Boehly and his consortium are reportedly worth a whopping combined £10.86billion.
That would make the Blues boast the SIXTH wealthiest owners in world football and third richest in the Premier League.
American billionaire Boehly and his consortium have signed an agreement to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich in a deal reportedly worth around £4.25bn.
Boehly was in attendance at Stamford Bridge to watch the club draw 2-2 against Wolves as Conor Coady scored a dramatic 97th minute equaliser.
The 46-year-old's team consists of billionaires Mark Walter, Hansjorg Wyss and investment firm Clearlake Capital.
His consortium has been advised by Goldman Sachs and Robey Warshaw, where former chancellor and Chelsea fan, George Osborne, works as a partner.
