		An orphan by the age of four, he was raised by his Jewish family in the harsh environs of the Arctic Circle.
		This money is petty cash for Abramovich but, for those on the club terraces, it holds the promise of championship, FA Cup and even European success.

		Roman Abramovich, the Russian multibillionaire who on 1 July brought the English football club Chelsea, plans to watch from the stands almost every match played by his new team, manage multiple businesses across Russia, and govern Russia's easternmost region, Chukotka, all at the same time.
