Katie Price’s fourth husband Lee Andrews now claims he’s buying Chelsea football club just four years after current owner bought it for £4.25billion and insists ‘the money is there – watch this space’
Chelsea fans have had mixed luck since Todd Boehly and the BlueCo consortium bought the West London football club from Roman Abramovich in 2022.
But there is potential for that to change, for better or for worse, if Katie Price’s fourth husband is successful in a bid to buy a majority stake in the club, which currently sits sixth in the Premier League, 22 points behind rivals Arsenal at the top.
Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews, who has been questioned over false claims that he has immeasurable wealth following his marriage to Price in January, wants to move forward with a ‘crazy and ambitious’ plan to buy out the current Club World Cup holders.
“I can’t tell you all the workings and innards of my wealth, but the money is definitely there,” Andrews, 42, said. Sun. ‘And they have to accept it and verify it, but it will come in.
‘It sounds crazy, it sounds ambitious, but watch this space.’
Andrews will need a large sum of money to seize control from current owner Boehly, an American businessman who bought the football club for £4.25bn four years ago.

Since then the club has hired and fired five different managers, including current England boss Thomas Tuchel, as they struggle to maintain the domestic success they have consistently enjoyed under Abramovich.
The financial shortcomings seem to coincide with the team’s poor results; The club posted a significant pre-tax loss of £262.4 million for the 2024-2025 season; Despite this, the club earned a lucrative place in the Champions League by finishing fourth.
While Andrews’ financial worth remains questionable (the businessman claims connections to Tesla founder Elon Musk, the world’s richest man), that of Chelsea’s current owner, Boehly, does not.
The Miami-based businessman’s personal wealth is estimated to be between $8.4 billion and $9.3 billion; His impressive business portfolio includes a 20 percent stake in baseball giants Los Angeles Dodgers.
The American’s incredible fortune dwarfs that of Andrews, who previously boasted of earning between £2 million and £5 million a year from various investments in the United States.
Andrews’s credibility and personal integrity suffered blows from all sides following her marriage to Price; Furious ex-girlfriends labeled him a ‘cheater’ and encouraged the flamboyant former model to ‘run for the hills’.
His ex-fiancée Alana Percival, 32, who accepted Andrews’ marriage proposal just 16 weeks before marrying Price, accused Andrews of defrauding her of money and making false claims about her personal wealth and various achievements.
The businessman previously claimed to have a PhD from the University of Cambridge while running sustainable vehicle startup Aura Worldwide Holdings Limited from his home in the United Arab Emirates.

Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has made more extravagant claims about her lavish life in his latest posts on Instagram.
He also claims to be bilingual and can speak almost every known language fluently, including Arabic.
In March, he shared various images and videos on social media, including a post detailing being a ‘future trillionaire’, a ‘mystery income’ and a member of the ‘1%’.
One post shows a smiling man standing at the bar with the words: ‘The mystery comes. Underground connections. Private life. Small apartment. Hot brunette.’
He then shared an image of a yacht with the message, “Send this to future trillionaires,” along with a voiceover detail worth $1,274,930,645,80.73.
Another reference to his success and wealth was this quote: ‘When you love Monday morning better than Friday night. Welcome to the 1%, brother.
Although there were doubts about her claim of a Cambridge education, Price hit back and insisted he had seen evidence of her university background.
The former glamor model also revealed she trusted her new husband so much that she refused to sign a prenup before their whirlwind wedding.
