In recent years, the international oil price suddenly suffered an avalanche collapse. Brent crude oil futures fell below $28 on June 8, 2006+2065438, setting a new low of nearly 65438+2003. This is a heavy blow to the "oil capital" of the Premier League. According to the Daily Mirror, recently, due to the drop in oil prices, the total net worth of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Arsenal's major shareholder alisher usmanov has shrunk by more than $654.38+0.7 billion.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the owner of Chelsea, Abraham Simonvick, is worth as much as $6 billion. However, due to the sharp drop in oil prices, his personal wealth has lost $820 million from the beginning of 20 16 to 19 and 18 days. At the same time, Usmanov, the major shareholder of Arsenal, lost $9 170,000 in this round of oil price decline, and both of them lost17. The butterfly of international crude oil futures flapped its wings, but it may set off a hurricane among Premier League teams and even fans, which is probably unexpected to many people.

However, although Abramovich's wealth has shrunk dramatically due to the sharp drop in oil prices, he still owns a large number of properties in London, new york and southern France, which are not affected by oil prices. On the contrary, with the downturn of oil prices, the value of these assets will increase.

Since Abramovich took charge of Chelsea, Chelsea has won four Premier League titles, four FA Cup titles, three Carling Cup titles, one Europa League title and one Champions League trophy. Since joining Arsenal in 2007, Usmanov has been increasing his shareholding ratio, and now he owns more than 30% of the shares of Arsenal.
