Kyril louis dreyfus julia louis dreyfus9/11/2023 In fact, having always shown an interest in football, former president Vincent Laubrane allowed Kyril to see how transfers and contracts were negotiated when he was on an internship at the club. Talking of that knowledge, he was brought up around Olympique Marseille, the club in which his dad was the majority shareholder for 13 years and the team his family still own a five per cent share of to this day. Kyril certainly has the financial might to make an impact, but after years of overinvestment and inflated wages, Sunderland fans will just be glad to have somebody with football knowledge and a long-term plan in place. Their global empire covers shipping, agriculture and food, and had a revenue of £33.6 billion in 2018 and yes, before you ask, he is also distantly related to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, star of Seinfeld, Veep and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Son of late father Robert and mum Margarita, he is one of the heirs - alongside his two siblings - to the Louis Dreyfus Company. We know, that’s what they all say, but in his case it might well be true. He has football running through his veins and a desire to take the Black Cats back to the Premier League. Well, the good news for Sunderland fans is that he isn’t some businessman trying to make a quick buck. But who on earth is the 23-year-old, how much is he worth, and is he serious about getting Sunderland back to the big time? In his place comes the youngest chairman in English football, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus. After a dismal five years, which has seen them drop from the Premier League to League One, make strange boardroom decisions such as buying Will Grigg for £4m against the manager’s wishes and star in two Netflix series, the club can now finally move on from the Stewart Donald era. Sunderland have at last got a bit of hope.
