Queens park rangers

It’s been widely reported that Flavio Briatore and Bernard Ecclestone bought into Queens Park Rangers and that they have stated they expect to see the club fighting with the best Europe has to offer in a matter of years.  Pretty big ambitions for a club that is not even in the Premier League.  Now I knew that these dudes have some serious coin, especially Ecclestone.  What I failed to realize until now, is that the 5th richest dude in the world, Lakshmi Mittal, also bought a piece of the club.  This gives QPR three owners with a combined net worth of almost $55 billion! Yes, I wrote that right…it’s not a typo.  That crushes Roman Abramovich’s deep pockets.  So this basically means that QPR has the wealthiest owners of any sports team in the whole wide universe.  Maybe their big time ambitions don’t seem so out of the question anymore.   Now back to your regularly scheduled programs…
