The current owner of Fulham Football Club is Shahid Khan, an American-Pakistani billionaire. He bought the club back in 2013 for a cool £200 million. But who is he, and how did he get from Lahore, Pakistan, to the Craven Cottage directors’ box?
Khan’s story is like an American dream—if that dream involved car bumpers. He started his empire with a company called Flex-N-Gate, which makes parts for cars like the Toyota Camry. He didn’t inherit a penny; he built it from scratch, which is pretty rad.
Before Fulham, he was already in the sports game. He bought the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL in 2011. So, when you see him at a Fulham match, you’re looking at a guy juggling two professional sports teams on two different continents. Talk about a busy schedule.
