Estimate
Current Assessment
Friedkin’s fortune comes mainly from The Friedkin Group and Gulf States Toyota, the private auto distribution business founded by his father. His sports holdings are material: the group controls AS Roma and completed its takeover of Everton in December 2024. Recent public wealth reporting places him around $9.4 billion to $9.7 billion. Team valuations and purchase prices support that scale, but they are not added separately because the same assets are likely already reflected in billionaire-list estimates.
Key caveats
- The Friedkin Group is private, so exact ownership, debt and cash balances are not public.
- Everton was acquired through a holding vehicle and the deal included debt restructuring, making the headline transaction value an imperfect measure of personal wealth.
- Sports assets are treated as supporting evidence, not a separate add-on to reported net worth.
Evidence gaps
- No audited personal balance sheet or group-level ownership table was found.
- Current post-stadium Everton valuation remains uncertain.
- Current values for non-soccer assets such as hospitality, film, aviation and real estate are not well documented in public sources.
