Katie Price’s fourth husband, Lee Andrews, has sent shockwaves through the world of football by claiming he is in talks to buy a majority stake in Chelsea Football Club — just four years after Todd Boehly’s BlueCo consortium bought the West London giants for a whopping £4.25 billion.
In a series of bold and controversial statements, Andrews, who’s made headlines recently for his lavish lifestyle and unsubstantiated wealth, insists that the money is in place for his “crazy and ambitious” plan to take over the club, which is currently languishing in sixth place in the Premier League and 22 points behind the table-toppers, Arsenal.
“I can’t tell you all the workings and inner parts to my wealth but definitely the money is there,” Andrews, 42, confidently told The Sun. “It sounds crazy, it sounds ambitious, but watch this space.” The audacious statement has left fans and experts questioning the validity of his claims, especially given Andrews’ track record of making exaggerated boasts about his financial standing.

Despite Andrews’ confidence, those close to the couple are skeptical. A source told the Daily Mail, “I don’t know anything about it… but I very much doubt it.” In fact, his financial credibility has been a point of contention ever since his whirlwind shotgun marriage to Price in January, a union that has drawn criticism from ex-girlfriends and skeptics alike.
Previously, Andrews has claimed ties to Tesla mogul Elon Musk, but his true wealth remains a mystery. His personal fortune is nowhere near that of Boehly, whose net worth is estimated between $8.4 billion and $9.3 billion. Boehly has turned Chelsea into a global brand, though not without struggles — the club has seen managerial chaos and a £262.4 million pre-tax loss in 2024-2025, despite qualifying for the Champions League.

The Chelsea takeover claim, while highly speculative, is not the first time Andrews has attracted attention with his controversial statements. From flaunting a supposed PhD from Cambridge to boasting about his mysterious income and underground connections, he seems eager to present himself as a man of extraordinary wealth and influence.
But with accusations of scamming and manipulative behavior from ex-partners, the legitimacy of Andrews’ self-proclaimed empire is up for debate. His ex-fiancée, Alana Percival, has accused him of making false claims about his fortune and academic credentials, further denting his credibility.
For Chelsea fans, the question remains: could Lee Andrews really be the next owner of the Blues? Or is this just another attempt to stir up attention in a dramatic saga that seems to get wilder with every passing day?
Only time will tell if the “crazy and ambitious” plan turns into reality, or if it’s just another chapter in the ever-unfolding drama surrounding Katie Price’s controversial marriage. Watch this space…
