Gunners lead the way in latest Rich List

Premier League side Arsenal lead the way when it comes to entrants into FourFourTwo.com's Football Rich List 2009/10.

Seven individuals on the list are in some way involved with the North Londoners, from manager Arsene Wenger (99th place, ã15 million) to billionaire shareholding duo Alisher Usmanov (9th place, ã1.3bn) and Stan Kroenke (ã2.079bn).

The seven Arsenal representatives have a total worth of ã3.914 billion, putting them ahead of arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur, whose four representatives - including chairman Daniel Levy (82nd, ã25 million) - total ã2.72 billion.

However the combined wealth of both North London clubs' 11 entrants is still less than the personal wealth of top three Roman Abramovich (Chelsea, ã7.8bn), Sheikh Mansour (Manchester City, ã17bn) and Lakshmi Mittal (QPR, ã18.4bn).

Four of Chelsea's six entrants are current members of the playing staff (Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack) who have a combined wealth of ã77 million.

Manchester United also have a four players in the top 100, with Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney being joined in the list by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson (86th, ã22 million) and owner Malcolm Glazer (7th, ã1.5bn).

Controversial Liverpool pair Tom Hicks and George Gillett (joint 16th, ã500m each) and skipper Steven Gerrard (90th, ã20 million) are the only Anfield representatives on the list.

Despite being one of, if not the, richest club in the world, Manchester City only have one entrant - although Sheikh Mansour is in second place with a tidy ã17bn in his back pocket.

He'll need a pretty sturdy belt, then.
