5 things you probably didn't know about Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich

Being a rich businessman such as Roman Abramovich, you are bound to make a few enemies.

He is politically connected in Russia and also has a personal line to President Vladimir Putin, who he helped during his prime ministerial candidacy back in 1999. He also has many contacts at the Kremlin in Moscow.

Abramovich spared no expense on his personal security detail. He is reported to have spent more than £1.2 million a year by hiring 20 former soldiers to protect him in the UK – his bodyguards wherever he travels.
