The recent success of the English team Chelsea shows an example of the effect of money on a team. For many years, Chelsea was a club with little money and few wins. They didn’t have a lot of money to pay good players. Their last championship win was in 1995. Everything changed in 2003, when Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the team for $233 million. In his first year, Abramovich spent more than $350 million on players. By 2006, Chelsea had won two championships. Now Chelsea is one of the richest clubs in the world.
