I keep reading that Lerner has spent £250 million on the Villa since taking over 10 years ago. The press keep banging on about ‘Lerner to lose millions‘ if he sells… as if it really makes a difference to the man.
If you break it down that’s a net spend of £25 million per season!!
If you’re classed aS an American Billionaire like Randy then you’re wealth equates to $1,000,000,000 or 1 thousand million dollars. So 1% of his wealth would be $10.000.000…. yep 10 million dollars (yes 1%)
So Randy has been spending roughly 4% of his wealth per year on owning Aston Villa which to be honest is probably less than the interest he makes on the billion.
If I relate this to my own wealth it would mean owning the Villa would have cost me about £20 per week over that same period which is less than the price of a ticket.
So don’t shed a tear over his lost millions, we just need an owner that loves the club as much as we do!
