Golds own 25.1% of club and are likely to sell up to 10%Vanessa Gold says sale will have father’s legacy in mind
The Gold family have put a proportion of their stake in West Ham up for sale. Vanessa Gold, who became the club’s joint-chair when her father, David, died this year, has appointed Rothschild & Co to sound out interest from potential investors.
The Golds own 25.1% of West Ham, making them the third-largest shareholders. David Sullivan owns 38.8% and the Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky 27%. The initial likelihood is that the Golds will try to sell up to 10%, though a source indicated that a bigger stake could be sold depending on the asking price. Kretinsky paid between £180m and £200m in 2021.
