Having put a ten percent stake in West Ham United up for sale, we take a deep dive into Vanessa Gold’s net worth, income and assets.
Vanessa Gold Background
Vanessa Gold is the renowned daughter of the late British businessman David Gold, who was the owner and chairman of Gold Group International.
David Gold served as the chairman of Birmingham City Football Club until 2009, before becoming joint chairman of West Ham United in 2010 with David Sullivan.
In January 2023, David Gold passed away following a short illness. Vanessa’s older sister, Jacqueline Gold, who was the CEO of Ann Summers and Knickerbox, passed away two months later.
Vanessa Gold Net Worth And Assets
Following the passing of her father, Vanessa was appointed co-chair of West Ham United, taking on her father’s role as well as his 25.1% share of the club. Since then, she has put a ten percent stake up for sale, appointing Rothschild & Co to advise her on any sale.
In July 2023, she was also appointed as the company chair of Ann Summers, following the passing of her sister Jacqueline. The company is renowned for specialising in lingerie and sex toys. She had previously held the roles of joint managing director and chief executive within the company.
Her net worth is not exactly known, but it was estimated to be between $5 million and $10 million. However, this has likely increased significantly since the deaths of her father and sister, and her subsequent new company roles.
