Check Out the English Championship team that has more money than Arsenal and Liverpool Combined

Premier League clubs spent a record €2.2 billion during the summer transfer window, but there is one club in the Championship that can spend more than Liverpool and Arsenal combined.

Newcastle became the world's richest club when it was bought by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund for £300m/£343m in October 2021. Its new owners are worth a combined £500bn/€570bn.

This puts the Toon well ahead of English champions Manchester City in terms of owners' wealth. City is majority-owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, which is worth £19 billion/euro 21.7 billion, still making the club the second richest in England.

The podium is completed by Chelsea, who swapped one billionaire for another when Roman Abramovich sold the club to Todd Boehly in May. The American heads a consortium worth £13.6 billion or €15.6 billion.

In fourth place comes a surprising club: Queen's Park Rangers. QPR hasn't played in the Premier League since 2015, but has a top budget, with co-owner Lakshmi Mittal worth a whopping £12.9bn/€14.7bn thanks to his steel empire.

According to the Daily Star, QPR's owners are "worth more than the combined sum of £12.7bn/€14.7bn, equivalent to the combined value of the two ownership groups of Arsenal and Liverpool".

However, unlike the aforementioned powerful Premier League clubs, QPR have not opened their coffers for player transfers this summer. In addition to the two players who joined for free, Jake Clarke-Salter from Chelsea's academy also joined for free, while the London club also received four players on loan.

The results so far this season have reflected this: after eight games played in the Championship, Michael Beale's men are in ninth place after three wins, two draws and three losses.

Their record signing remains Christopher Samba, a central defender who joined the now-defunct Anzhi Makhachkala in January 2013 for €14.3 million.
