Guest TigerTim Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think some people on here don't quite appriciate just how wealthy our chairman is, this was from a divdend payout today and thats essentially cash in the bankCurrently is company HL has a market cap of 6.65bn dollars, his net worth according to forbes is $1.85bnWhat would you do with that much money?

Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It is no surprise that so many billionaires buy football clubs and run them at a huge loss. Their trying to find and exciting way to spend their money as they have everything else.1.85 billion is more than I can even try and get my head around. I cannot fathom being that rich. Right now I'd be over the moon with a deposit for a house/flat, let alone that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I would be happy enough with 20k right now. If I had that much money I would open up Bristol City Centre to allow tall ships in and build a proper tram system around Bristol and also a snow dome in Ashton Vale.

Merrick's Marvels Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Lots of people appreciate (sic) exactly how wealthy our owner is.Lots of people also appreciate that being wealthy, whilst increasingly important,is only half the battle. You've still got to make good collective business decisions as a Board of Directors and do it on a consistent basis. That's how clubs "smaller" than City, with less wealthy owners, have out-performed us year after year after year. That's why BCFC under this owner, whose decision-making has been patchy at best, are currently no better off than under any other post-War chairman, despite his wealth.Lansdown still has everything to prove, because a nice, shiny new ground will count for nothing unless fortunes on the pitch take an equivalent step forward.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 SL's wealth still remains predominantly in his shares in HL- hence the dividend payment due on 30th Sept.The market value of HL is currently £5.66 billion of which Steve owns 20%. The dividend yield ( payment) to shareholders ( excluding any specials- i.e. like a bonus to shareholders) is 2%. Therefore if you own £1 billion in equity - you get 2% of this amount hence £20 million per annum plus special dividend . £25 million.BCFC loses about £6-£8million per annum- we don't know the figures for Championship football other than the additional income for this season is £2million guaranteed before any potential cup run, live tv games and sell on fees such as Albert and Yannick. It doesn't include transfer fees that are likely to happen at some point- (bids of £6million++) and £2million already spent on JK. So his main income is c. £25 million of which he spends half on Bristol Sport. Excluding the £50 million he is spending on BS3 and not to mention the £30 million losses he has written off. I love the bloke.Best not to tell him how to spend his money as I think he's doing a pretty good job on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent Pepper Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Good on him. I hope he treats his family, buys a new holiday home, helps some good causes & blows the rest on himself. No point spending it on the club as his time, effort & wealth are stil unappreciated by many. Like most things, people will only truly appreciate him once he's gone.
