Estimate

Current Assessment

Kretinsky's main wealth source is EPH and the broader EP Group platform, which spans energy, logistics, retail and media. His West Ham United stake is a visible sports asset: he bought 27% in 2021 and was reported in June 2026 to have agreed to raise that stake to 43%. On Forbes' 2024 West Ham valuation, those stakes imply roughly $300 million and $470 million before discounts. He is also reported as a 40% owner of Sparta Prague, but there is not enough public valuation evidence to assign that stake a precise value.

Key caveats

The estimate should not add team values or company revenues directly to personal wealth.
The West Ham 43% stake was reported as pending ratification, so the exact current stake needs official confirmation.
Private-company leverage and co-investor structures may materially change the personal attribution.

Evidence gaps

Direct billionaire-profile data from Forbes or Bloomberg.
Official West Ham and Sparta shareholder filings current to July 2026.
Reliable current valuation for Sparta Prague.

Confidence

Medium confidence

72/100

The estimate is supported by available evidence, with meaningful assumptions and caveats.

Key Evidence Gaps

Direct Forbes or Bloomberg billionaire profile for Daniel Kretinsky.
Official West Ham shareholder register, club filing, league approval, or Companies House evidence current to July 1, 2026.
Official Sparta Prague ownership filing or club ownership page.
Current reliable valuation for Sparta Prague.
EP Group/EPH ownership waterfall, net debt, financing structure, and personal attribution to Kretinsky.

Public Caveats

Estimate is anchored to Forbes-linked secondary billionaire data because direct Forbes/Bloomberg profile evidence was not supplied.
The 43% West Ham stake should be described as reported or pending ratification unless official closing evidence is added.
West Ham stake values are rough valuation checks based on a 2024 Forbes club valuation and should be discounted for timing, liquidity, club debt, and relegation risk.
Sparta Prague is included as ownership context only because no reliable current valuation or official ownership filing is supplied.

Uncertainty Drivers

EP Group and EPH are private, with limited public visibility into Kretinsky's exact ownership, debt, pledges, co-investors and holding-company structure.
Direct Forbes profile data was inaccessible; the $10.2bn benchmark was sourced through a secondary compilation of Forbes data.
West Ham's June 2026 43% stake increase was reported as agreed but pending ratification; current completion status and transaction price were not verified from an official club filing.
West Ham's valuation may have fallen after reported relegation and losses, making older Forbes soccer valuations stale.
Sparta Prague ownership is clear enough for context but lacks a robust current valuation.
