How wrong you are!!!!\n\nChelski are nowhere near the richest club in Europe! what a lot of people forget is that Abramovich has spent alot of money,but there's no way Chelski will ever get it back,he owns a lot of the players,not the club!!so if he leaves,they would be in big trouble!\n\nhere is a list of the top ten richest clubs in the world in order:\n\n1. Manchester Utd.\n2. Real Madrid.\n3. AC Milan.\n4. Arsenal.\n5. Bayern Munich.\n6.Juventus.\n7. Chelski.\n8. Inter Milan.\n9. Barcelona.\n10.Liverpool\n\nthis list is based on overall value of the club(players,stadium,etc.),the list can vary with overall income as well,and can also vary if you look up other criteria....\nfor example Chelski are 7th in value and 5th in current income.\n\nOn current income Real Madrid overtake Man U who slip into 2nd.\n\non operating income Chelski slip all the way to 17th in the world,with an operating income of  -11.3million dollars(someone has to pay all those ridiculous wages!)Man U stay 1st....interestingly the English club with the highest operating income after Man U. is Spurs,with 36.6million dollars!!
