Shrewd Investment

Roman Abramovich set to invest £60m

… but not into Chelsea

Daria Zhukova, Roman Abramovich and a disappointed child

One of the only Premier League club owners to suffer more than Mike Ashley during the current economic crisis is Roman Abramovich: reports suggest he has lost up to a third of his £15bn fortune. The Russian tycoon is clearly unfazed by his rapidly decreasing wealth, as he is all set to invest in a £60m Caribbean estate:

Chelsea’s owner, who is estimated to have lost two thirds of his £15billion fortune, has “fallen in love” with the two-acre plot on St Barts.

The idyllic spot boasts a deep-water mooring with enough space for his three superyachts.

Over Christmas, Abramovich anchored his ridiculously-named super-yacht ‘Ecstasea’ on the millionaire’s playground of St Barths, and it is said that he and 27-year-old model girlfriend Daria Zhukova fell in love it.

    What has that got to do with football? Or humour for that matter?
