Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has made a fortune NOT pursuing their stadium development plans.
The Sun says his personal fortune grew by a staggering £2BILLION last year.
Abramovich, 52, has effectively stopped funding the club after he shelved Chelsea's plans for a £1bn new stadium at Stamford Bridge last year.
But the Russian billionaire could easily afford to bankroll the futuristic designs after his 30 per cent holding in steel and mining giant Evraz chalked up gains of £1.6m-A-DAY last year.
According to The Sunday Times Rich List, Abramovich is now worth £11.2bn, up £1.9bn on his fortune a year ago.
He has reportedly valued Chelsea at £4bn, with Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe showing interest in buying them but not at that price.
