Hammers drop down billionaires list
There was a time when every top-flight team dreamt about a billionaire owner but now they are the norm and not being a billionaire is the exception.
Only Norwich, Burnley, Brentford, Leeds United and Watford are Premier League clubs not owned by billionaires but multi-millionaires instead and many Championship clubs are also owned by billionaires also.
