Todd Boehly, Mark Walter, and Hansjorg Wyss have sold their 12.8% shares each in Chelsea Football Club to majority owner Clearlake Capital, giving Clearlake full control of the club. This move ends Boehly’s four-year tenure as chairman, a role he took over after the consortium bought Chelsea from sanctioned Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for £2.3bn in 2022. The sale reportedly values Chelsea at around £5bn and could net Boehly and Walter up to £950m each for their shares. Clearlake co-founders Behdad Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano thanked Boehly for his contributions while emphasizing continued investment in the club’s infrastructure and performance. Hansjorg Wyss will retain a minority stake as an important partner.
