Todd Boehly (born 20 September 1973) is an American investor who co-founded the holding company Eldridge Industries in 2015 and is its chairman and chief executive.[1][2] In May 2022 a consortium he led with Clearlake Capital completed the purchase of Chelsea Football Club, and he became chairman of its holding company.[2] On 12 November 2026 the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list ranked Boehly 398th in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$9.2 billion; Forbes lists the source of wealth as finance.[1][3] In the annual World's Billionaires list published in 2026, Forbes had ranked Boehly 372nd, at US$9.3 billion.[4]
Guggenheim and Eldridge
Forbes says Boehly built the credit business of Guggenheim Partners and served as its president before co-founding Eldridge in 2015. Some of Eldridge's first assets, including the insurer Security Benefit, were acquired from Guggenheim.[1] Forbes describes Eldridge as a diverse conglomerate whose investments range from Bruce Springsteen's song rights to the fantasy sports and betting company DraftKings.[1]
Sports ownership
Chelsea FC announced the completion of the takeover on 30 May 2022. The consortium also included Hansjörg Wyss and Mark Walter. Under the agreement, Boehly and Clearlake share joint control and equal governance of the club.[2] Forbes's figures for the price differ: its 2022 profile said nearly US$5 billion, while its 2024 and 2026 profiles give US$3.1 billion.[1] The club's announcement described Walter and Boehly as owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Lakers and Sparks.[2] Forbes says Boehly personally holds minority stakes in the Lakers and Dodgers, and that Eldridge holds a separate minority stake in the Dodgers.[1] Forbes says the club was bought from Roman Abramovich.[1]
Philanthropy
Forbes says Boehly and his wife Katie, who met at the College of William & Mary, gave an undisclosed sum to the college to build the Boehly Center for Excellence in Finance.[1]
