How much is Daniel Levy worth and how long as he been Tottenham chairman?
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has been heavily criticised by fans over the course of his tenure in North London.
Levy oversaw a 17-year trophy drought at Tottenham, while consistently holding the club back with regard to his decision making over transfers and managers.
Spurs have gone through a lot of managers under Levy, with most of them not adequately backed by the chairman before eventually being dismissed.
The sacking of Ange Postecoglou again pointed a lot of blame at Levy, and Tottenham’s struggles in the transfer market this summer have further piled on the pressure.
Daniel Levy’s net worth
Levy is part of Tottenham ownership group ENIC, and owns around 29.5 per cent of their 86.5 per cent share capital.

This means that Levy essentially owns 25 per cent of Tottenham, with Joe Lewis the majority shareholder with 60 per cent of the club.
As per the BBN Times (February 2025), Levy’s net worth is estimated to be just over £350million, but ENIC have a total net worth of around £4.9billion.
There are several Premier League ownership groups with a lot more financial firepower than ENIC, with Newcastle, Manchester City and Chelsea the biggest three in terms of net worth.
Levy has exercised a ruthless approach when it comes to managers, with Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte among those to be hired and fired in the last decade, but his approach to transfers has typically been to buy low and sell high, at the expense of success on the field.
How long has Daniel Levy been at Tottenham?
Levy is the longest-serving chairman in Premier League history, and is in his 24th year in the role he took up in February 2001.
Despite being the minority shareholder, Levy has operational influence over the day-to-day running of the club, and is the main figurehead of the Tottenham hierarchy.
This means that praise and blame can both be laid at his door, and more often than not, it is criticism that is directed his way.
Spurs fans have organised several protests against his and ENIC’s influence over the years, and even managers such as Conte have publicly slammed the lack of support and investment into the team.
