Despite Chelsea basking in the glory of becoming the new world champions, Abramovich saw his wallet emptied, as the share price fell of one of the companies in which he has investments.
Evraz, a multi-national specialised in iron and coal, collapsed by almost 29% in the London Stock Exchange, due to conflict between Ukraine and Russia. In monetary terms, the president of the Blues lost almost 800 million euros in one day (since Monday).
According to a report by 'This is Money', the total amount lost reached 650 million pounds (about 776 million euros). Also, the previously mentioned report, stated that in just three weeks, the company's shares fell by 500 million.
It must not be forgotten however that Abramovich has a net worth of around 13 billion dollars (around 11.5 billion euros), as recorded by Forbes.
Moreover, the British press has shone light on the fact that a Russian invasion would generate sanctions on oligarchal companies, as in Evraz's case, which would affect their ability to export.
