Is Markus a Billionnaire?

[Mouldy Coat]

Just looking at The Times Rich List and was seeing if our man was on it.

Anyone know what his real net worth is?

[mattyd]

Markus is not a UK national and will not be in it. £2.5 billion has been mentioned.

[Thedelldays]

markus is probably not a real person

[Matthew Le God]

Markus is not a UK national and will not be in it.

 

Irrelevant. It is a Forbe's World rich list not UK list.

 

Reason why he probably isn't on it would be that not all wealthy people make their collective wealth known if it is tied up in many areas. Some liquid cash and some tied up in investments. It has been reported in numerous media outlets he is a billionaire worth circa £2.6 billion and also by Pardew and Cortese that he is a billionaire.

Too much class to disclose or flaunt his wealth tbh.

[Micky]

Who knows - will shall see in the next few years as we rise through the leagues and 'invest' in the playing staff & facilities required to compete in those leagues. I care not at the moment where he stands in 'whatever' list, he appears to have the clubs best interest at heart and is running a professional operation - a little like all of his other business ventures.

 

Whilst we all want him to continuously 'splash the cash', should he not be in a position to do so, he has a responsibility to not jepardise the clubs position or integrity. He saved us from possible oblivion, and is now steering us on a survival course. I have confidence in the guy irrespective of how many millions, billions or zillions that he has.

I 100% agree with this.....kinda funny that we have never seen him.

As reference - you can have a quote from the late Paul Getty who once said ..if you can count your wealth - then you are not rich .

[September Saint]

it is ali al-faraj

 

He's as likely to be at St Mary's as Fratton Park

Probably couldn't raise the funds for a ticket.

Not irrelevant, the Sunday Times focus is on the U.K. so they only include the top 50 in the world. Being that you need £7.8bn to get onto that, he isn't included.

Why have you brought the Sunday Times into it? The opening post was discussing the Forbes rich list.

The opening post was pretty confused actually.

If you want to be pedantic, the opening post was discussing the Times Rich List, but he linked the Forbes list.

 

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Our owner is loaded and life is good!

Who Matthew Le God pedantic ? Never !

[LA77]

Where is Peter Storrie on the list?

I once tried to formulate a conspiracy theory around this very proposition. It was all very plausible but I never went public with it. Until now...

As has been said Markus has personal fortune circa £2.6 billion, which does not include his shares he holds in Liebherr International which is estimated to be around £3-4 billion.

[Saint in Paradise]

Real Gentlemen don't flaunt their wealth and so would never allow themselves to be on any common list.

[dronskisaint]

No - you have to go to matches to do that:)

[del boy]

I was in the middle of Mongolia last week, as you do, and saw a huge billboard for Liebherr cranes - his reach is truly global!

Except he's nothing to do with that company (anymore) :-)

Do you wanna borrow some ..or are you considering buying him out ?

[scott_saints]

I hate it when people point out "he's nothing to do with Liebherr". He is. I will still get a warm fuzzy feeling inside whenever I see the Brand, even though I know it's not HIS company. So shhh, you c**ts.

[Mr-G]

No - you have to go to matches to do that:)

 

amen

Markus is NOT a billionaire, hes in fact Ali Dias' agent who spotted an 'opportunity' and its all going to come crashing down around our ears at any moment! (well as soon as the gas bill comes in!)
