Hollywood Star Joins Ownership Group
Russell Crowe has officially become part-owner of Leeds United as the club sets its sights on a return to the Premier League. The announcement comes after the Whites were taken over by 49ers Enterprises last summer.
A Star-Studded Ownership Group
The Gladiator actor joins a star-studded ownership group that includes swimmer Michael Phelps, who has won 23 Olympic gold medals, and golf superstar Jordan Spieth. Crowe, a huge fan of the Elland Road club since his childhood in New Zealand, now has a financial stake in the team.
Crowe's Connection to Leeds
Crowe's love for Leeds United dates back to his days watching Match of the Day as a child. Despite considering purchasing the club in 2015, he ultimately decided against it due to the sacrifices it would require. Now, with a net worth of nearly £95 million, Crowe has found a way to support his beloved team financially.

With the backing of 49ers Enterprises, Leeds United has seen a gradual increase in investment since 2018. Currently sitting third in the Championship table, behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town, the club is aiming for a successful season under its new ownership.
