#4 John W. Henry (Liverpool) - £300m investment
The principal owner of Liverpool has an estimated fortune of around £1.8bn amassed thanks to his business interests and investment. He also owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team and the Boston Globe newspaper.
Liverpool have not been noted, however, for making any truly eye-watering transfers in recent seasons. Manager Jurgen Klopp tends to work efficiently and that has been emphasised by his acquisition of Dominic Solanke this summer on a free transfer from Chelsea, plus the capture of Mohamed Salah for around £37m – a deal that looks good for the Reds.
The Anfield side, though, have never won the Premier League, and that must be the ultimate aim of the American.
