Taking over from one of the most well-known Premier League owners, Todd Boehly stepped into some big shoes when his company led a consortium to take over Chelsea FC.
Since that June 2022 purchase, Boehly hasn’t been able to escape the headlines due to the club’s novel approach to the modern transfer market. In turn, more and more have wondered about Todd Boehly’s net worth.
How Much is Todd Boehly Worth?
At the time of writing, the real-time Todd Boehly net worth value was sitting at £6.4 billion, according to Forbes. The massive net worth value sits the Chelsea owner as the 381st most valuable person in the world.
Under the Eldridge Industries banner that he co-founded, Boehly works in many different areas of investment while primarily operating as a private holding company.
Most prominently in the sports world, Boehly is Chelsea’s chairman and the co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB, the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, and French football team Racing Club de Strasbourg.
While league titles have eluded both the Lakers and Chelsea since Boehly took over, he’s won over fans and the baseball betting crowd as the part-owner of the Dodgers.
In 2020 and 2024, they won the World Series.
Chelsea Ownership
Long before Todd Boehly’s net worth hit its current height of £6.4 billion, he was keen to add Chelsea to his portfolio. In 2019, he made a £2.3 billion bid to the absurdly successful owner of the day, Roman Abramovich.
As 2022 opened, and Russia invaded Ukraine, the Russian billionaire was forced to sell and depart the UK. Boehly swept back in again, this time backed by a consortium to pay up £4.25 billion.
Still among the richest football clubs in the world a few years after the purchase, the Blues have predominantly made headlines for their audacious transfer strategy under Boehly rather than their success on the pitch.
Alongside the way in which the team has thrown money around in the market, there’s also been the telling absence of primary shirt sponsors. Regularly, the team has started the season without a potentially lucrative shirt sponsor.
Having won the Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025 – which they competed in without a primary sponsor – Chelsea are now hoping to secure a long-term, £60 million per year deal.
With another summer transfer window has come another influx of talent, and yet, in sports betting terms, Chelsea’s hopes for major silverware have barely budged.
Business Career
Boehly commenced his path to such a high net worth at Credit Suisse First Boston and J.H. Whitney & Company before rising up the ranks at Guggenheim Partners from 2001 to 2015.
That year, he took the likes of Dick Clark Productions, Security Benefit, and The Hollywood Reporter to build the initial collection of assets at his co-founded Eldridge Industries.
Along with the acquisition of shares in sports teams, Eldridge Industries focuses on scaling businesses and credit management, putting Boehly on the board of several companies, including Vivid Seats and CAIS.
In 2025, Boehly also founded Eldridge and sits as the company’s chairman. The asset management and insurance holding company already holds over $70 billion in assets and is owned by Eldridge Industries.
Personal Life
Todd Boehly was born in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 1973. The grandson of German emigrants, he began to build the knowledge that would lead to his multi-billion-pound net worth at the College of William & Mary.
Later, he’d move to the British capital to further his finance credentials. He attended the London School of Economics while working at CS First Boston and Citibank on a special visa.
The billionaire tends to keep his personal life private, but it is known that he has three sons with his wife, Katie, whom he met at the College of William & Mary.
With Eldridge Industries underpinning his income, should his stake in major sports teams like Chelsea begin to yield more success, that Todd Boehly net worth figure will surely rise beyond £6.4 billion.
