TRENDING: “So yeah,” Russell Crowe confirmed his investment in Leeds United and the 49ers after being asked about the Wrexham situation.

Actor Russell Crowe, a devoted Leeds United fan, has confirmed his financial involvement with the club, along with announcing an upcoming show at Brudenell Social Club this summer.

The takeover of Leeds United by the 49ers in the summer of 2023, following relegation, has significantly stabilized the club. This has been further bolstered by the involvement of several notable investors from the sporting world and beyond.

Various global sports stars have disclosed their minor ownership stakes in the club, with more joining the ranks over time.

Oscar-winner Russell Crowe, a passionate Leeds fan, has long expressed his support for the club. Despite previous attempts to invest substantially back in 2015, he hadn’t been able to establish a tangible connection with the team until now.

Crowe recently confirmed via the club that he will be hosting Russell’s Indoor Garden Party at Brudenell Social Club on July 25. It was during a response to a fan’s comment about Wrexham that he revealed his investment in Leeds United.

Russell Crowe’s net worth, as reported by Wealthy Persons, is estimated to be upwards of $120 million (£95 million). The actor has been involved in several highly successful films throughout his career, including Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, and Robin Hood.

Having more investors, especially enthusiastic Leeds supporters like Crowe, is positive for the club’s future. While Crowe may not significantly contribute to the club’s financial capital, the presence of numerous celebrity investors bodes well for its commercial growth, particularly as Leeds aims to return to the Premier League.
