Who is the Leicester billionaire "stricken"?


So far, no details have been provided about the survival of anyone on board a crashed helicopter that the owner of Leicester City was said to have been aboard.
The owner of Leicester City, Vicki Srivadhanabraba, and his daughter were among five people aboard the helicopter, which crashed near the club's King Power stadium, the source said.

The news has saddened the world of football, especially as the Thai billionaire was a pillar of the celebrated Leicester two years ago when he won the Premier League title for the first time in a "spectacular season".

But who is Servadhanabraba, the owner of the "foxes" battalion, who may have watched his team's last match on the pitch on Saturday evening?

Empire of Money

The famous owner was born in 1958 in the Thai capital of Bangkok, only 31 years old when he set up King Power to trade duty free goods.

King Power now has shops at Thailand's airports and the country's most important tourist attractions.

According to Forbes magazine, the fortune of Servadhanabraba has reached about $ 5 billion, becoming the fifth richest man in his country.


The story of Leicester City

The Thai billionaire decided to buy the Foxes Club in August 2010 for $ 50 million, which is the equivalent of the doubles today, after the English Premier League's inflation due to the rights of broadcasting.

Servadhanabraba's first contribution to qualifying for the Premier League in 2014, after being a first-class opponent.

After qualifying, the team suffered a lot in Premiership before sticking to the last rounds of the 2015 season.

In the following season, the "Foxes" miraculously took the Premier League title from Manchester United and Manchester City under the guidance of Italian coach Claudio Ranieri and Servadhanabraba.

In reward for the achievement, Servadhanabraba gave a BMW A8, worth $ 128,000, to each player on the team.

Royal estimate

The landlord of Leicester City was born in the name of Vicky Raxsriaxorn, but the king of Thailand Bumibol Adulyadej decided to give Vickay and his family the title of a new family in 2012, Srivadhanapraba, which means "Progressive Glory of Glory" in Thai.

Srivadhanabraba, his family, his wife Emon and his four children, adopted the new title, which became the official family name.
