Premier League owners: All you need to know about them

Sunderland A.F.C – Ellis Short

Ellis Short is an American-born British businessman. In 1995, he chaired a private-equity firm, Lone Star. He went on to buy a Scottish hotel resort, in 2003, for about $30 million. Bolstered by surpluses in other investments, Short took over Sunderland FC in 2008

In 2013, he set up a private equity firm, Kildare Partners, which invests in hard-pressed real estate opportunities. His club currently is embroiled in a relegation battle and Short will be hoping that Sunderland manage to avoid the drop like last season.

The net worth of Ellis Short is estimated to be around £2.4 billion. Short is also the chairman of Sunderland.
