Billionaire Shahid Khan's rags to riches story has seen him go from earning just 85p an hour washing dishes to making an £800million bid for one of the crowns of the sporting world.
The 67-year-old highly successful businessman, who moved to the US when he was just 16 with just $500 (£360) to his name, could soon become the owner of Wembley Stadium.
His rapid rise to the top saw him become owner of Championship side Fulham in 2013, and the NFL side Jacksonville Jaguars are also one of his outfits.
But it has not come easy to the self-made billionaire from Pakistan, who is now the 217th richest person in the world.
Khan was born in Lahore, Pakistan in July 1950 to mother, Zakia, a maths professor, and father, Rafiq who sold surveying equipment.
Encouraged by his father, who stood for humility and frugality, Khan from an early age developed a nous for business.
As a child he would build and sell radios and perhaps with his father's influence would not allow any opportunity to pass by without being able to make a profit.
Khan has a passion for sport, and has come from nothing after moving to America with $500
