Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is breaking transfer records for fun, but how did he become a billionaire in the first place?

Few football fans had heard of Todd Boehly 18 months ago. Now, the Chelsea co-owner is firmly in the spotlight.

He became the face of the club's takeover in May 2022, replacing Roman Abramovich in the hotseat at Stamford Bridge.

Abramovich was known for his ruthless streak during his 19-year tenure, sacking managers on a regular basis if they did not meet his expectations, and in that respect not much has changed since he left.

The Blues went through four different managers - including two interim appointments - in Boehly's first season at the club last term.
