Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck reportedly stands to make £30million from the club's £4.25bn sale to Todd Boehly - while director Marina Granovskaia is said to be collecting £20m - as the huge takeover was finally sanctioned.
The Premier League confirmed the massive deal had been approved on Tuesday night with the Government rubber-stamping it on Wednesday morning, allowing American billionaire Boehly to finalise his record-breaking move.
The Government wanted to ensure that Roman Abramovich would not benefit from the takeover in any way, and in a statement Whitehall chiefs said they were satisfied the proceeds would not go to the Russian.
