Sunderland are undoubtedly one of the biggest clubs in the Championship with majority owner Kyril Louis Dreyfus boasting a large personal fortune.
The Black Cats finished a disappointing 16th in the Championship last season after securing a top-six spot the campaign before under Tony Mowbray.
Fans are now eager to see how new head coach Régis Le Bris will fare under Sunderland’s model and whether or not Louis-Dreyfus will loosen the purse strings in the summer transfer market.
But how does the wealth of Sunderland’s majority owner compare to the rest of the Championship ahead of this summer’s transfer window? Here, we take a look:
