Sunderland chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus' reported net worth compared to other Premier League owners
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus' ownership has already brought some lifelong memories for Sunderland fans.
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has overseen a remarkable upturn in fortunes at Sunderland since he completed a deal to become majority shareholder at the Stadium of Light in February 2021.
Since then, the Black Cats have secured two promotions that included a memorable Championship play-off final win at Wembley that ended their nine-year absence from the Premier League and have now secured a place in European competition for only the second time in their history. The last two seasons will live long in the memory for the Wearside faithful as head coach Regis Le Bris guided his side into the elite of English football before a stunning summer transfer window triggered a season that ended with qualification for the Europa League.

Throughout it all, Louis-Dreyfus has been a constant presence and the Stadium of Light faithful have become accustomed to seeing the 28-year-old showing his passion and support for the lads home and away. He has become a popular figure during his time at the helm and there is a feeling further good times are just around the corner after his arrival just over five years ago triggered one of the most memorable periods in the club’s recent history. From facing the likes of Morecambe and Accrington Stanley in League One when Louis-Dreyfus arrived on Wearside to preparing to compete alongside the likes of AC Milan, Olympique Marseille and Juventus in next season’s Europa League, the transformation in fortunes on and off the pitch in such a short space of time has been beyond belief. But how does the reported net worth of the Black Cats chairman and owner compare to other clubs across the Premier League as he looks to ensure the good times keep on rolling at the Stadium of Light?
