Manchester United dominated the richlist for 9 years in row and this is the first time that Spanish giants Real Madrid have reached no 1 position, while FC Barcelona have seen a steady increase in the last 5 years in 2007 Barcelona was ranked no 9 but due to their couple of wins in Champions League and Lionel Messi rise to stardom they have gained considerable ground on the top 2, while Arsenal have always been around 3rd or 4th since 2007 when the rankings were started.

In the bottom of the top 10 list we see couple of changes every years, and Liverpool who were 4th in the richlist back in 2008 now find themselves in 10th position and it is not likely to be change to better in coming years, while Manchester City who were 17th back in 2007 now finds themselves in 9th position and they will be even better next year and in couple of more years to come with kind of money they have.

While Bayern Munich, Milan and Chelsea have been changing places in and around 5,6 7 in the last few years, but since Bayern Munich had couple of great seasons and won the treble in 2013 they will push ARsenal to third in the next year rankings.
