Everton’s takeover saga may be dragging along slugglishly in the background, but a conclusion does at least seem in sight.

After all, Dan Friedkin has agreed a deal with Everton owner owner Farhad Moshiri, with the hope being that this time he will come good on his promise to buy the club after pulling out last time.

Already negotiations are at a far more advanced stage, which is good, meaning that soon the Toffees will have the American’s multi-billion dollar fortune at their disposal.

However, that net worth is actually a figure on the move.

What is Dan Friedkin’s new net worth?

This latest financial update on the fiscal strength of Friedkin comes courtesy of Forbes, with their information relayed by The Toffee Blues.

In their post, they provide the new net worth of the soon-to-be Everton owner, detailing a mammoth rise across the last 12 months that should leave Evertonians delighted.

Around this time in 2023, it is said that Friedkin’s personal wealth sat at an admirable $4.3bn.

Well, that has enjoyed a 77% rise, and now has levelled out at an extraordinary $6.4bn, a £1.6bn boost when converted.

The hope is that some of this additional fortune can help not only clear Everton of all of their debts, but help them become a real force in the transfer market once again.

Where does Dan Friedkin rank among the Premier League’s richest owners?

Well, with this huge net worth now set to wade into the Premier League, having already worked wonders in Rome, excitement should be sky-high.

Especially with a brand-new stadium to walk into as well.

And, when compared to some of the other owners across the Premier League, Friedkin stacks up well too.

Naturally, Newcastle United and Manchester City both sit inside the top four, with those Saudi and UAE-funded sides laden with cash.

Aston Villa and Manchester United sit second and third respectively.

Then, going down that list, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Ipswich Town take up some other top-half spots, before Friedkin would join the list in 10th.

Whilst that does not seem like much, it would see them rise from 15th, overtaking the likes of Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and the John Textor-owned Crystal Palace.
