Notes

  1. ^ While the personal wealth of Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is used here, Palermo are controlled by Abu Dhabi United Group, which internal documents suggest is ultimately managed by the government of the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, as Palermo are controlled by companies considered state-controlled, the concept of 'net worth' is purposeless and does not apply. The actual value of the controlling entities are ultimately impossible to even guess at. The figures included are simply included as a reference point, and should therefore be taken at face value at best.
