Toy cars. Bingo halls. Malaysian plantations. Mexican gas stations. The source of wealth for La Liga's club owners is diverse. Year zero for the current era of La Liga ownership was 1992, when the Spanish government ruled almost all clubs should be turned from member-owned clubs into private limited companies. The other clubs became controlled by wealthy families and, over time, outside investors. Current owners, presidents or big shareholders across the 20 teams now come from countries including the U.S., China, Singapore, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Bolivia and Israel.
