Yes, you are correct
I'm sure he had a fall on his worth during his time here but can't remember what the issue was other than it had something to do with share values and some of his businesses that declined rapidly
However, I'm sure I also read more recently that he had recovered from much of that and was once again heading in an upward direction, e.g. with HR Owen, etc.
I'm sure there is an element of 'guesstimate' in most of these valuations but it does go to show the difference between the top and bottom owners, which in turn possibly explains why we currently have two or three mini leagues within the Premier League
With the cost of players, etc., it seems some of those people are paupers in footballing terms!
