Leeds United can boast one of the biggest and most famous list of investors with few more well-known than Will Ferrell. The American actor was announced as a minority shareholder in May and got his first taste of Elland Road during last month’s 1-0 defeat against Burnley.
Ferrell, 56, will is part of an ever-growing list of limited partners who have money in the club but don’t make any decisions in the boardroom. That list includes some of the world’s most well-known athletes and celebrities from every industry, from actor Russell Crowe to multi-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps and more recently, the Red Bull network.

Take a look below to see where the actor ranks among his fellow investors.
