Earlier this month, Ghanaians woke up to the news that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has expressed interest to buy Chelsea Football Club.
The politician and business mogul declared his audacious intention to make an offer for the Blues after current owner Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
With a £3billion asking price on the table, Chairman Wontumi is unfazed about buying the club and then signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. But it appears the pockets of the gold mine owner is not deep enough.
A ranking listing the net worth of the richest bidders aiming to buy Chelsea shows Chairman Wontumi is nowhere near the rich mix of bidders.
See the list below:
Some reactions from Ghanaians are;
@FabuMasta – It’s really impressive that something we take/took for granted has actually gained official/international recognition.
Every good press is good for mother Ghana. Congratulations
