West Ham United’s shareholders are currently ranked 4th in the Premier League rich list, it has been reported in Six Foot Two.

The Hammers hierarchy have seen a significant jump due to the introduction of Daniel Kretinsky, who acquired a 27% stake in the club back in November 2021.

The net worth of the Czech sphinx is valued at £7.5billion, making him the wealthiest shareholder at the club by some distance, while David Sullivan is valued at £1.1billion.

Tripp Smith then comes in with value of £1billion while the family of David Gold are  worth around £650million. Other shareholders include the Harris family with £200m and former Chairman Terry Brown having a net worth of £50m.
