Tottenham billionaire Joe Lewis owns luxury 600-acre Bahamas resort with Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Justin Timberlake
“People don't realise how wealthy the owner of Tottenham is, he's up there with one of the richest men in the world."
That’s what Harry Redknapp told talkSPORT in 2021 about Joe Lewis, the former owner of Spurs who very much stays out of the limelight.
Redknapp wasn’t wrong… according to The Sunday Times, Lewis is the 39th richest person in the world with an estimated wealth of £5.096billion.
The 86-year-old is rarely seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Daniel Levy instead being the more recognisable senior figure at the club.
He instead spends most of his time in the Bahamas or on his super yacht, Aviva.
It is in the Bahamas that Lewis co-owns a luxury 600-acre private resort, called Albany, with Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Justin Timberlake.
The resort has a private beach, three swimming pools, exclusive restaurants and a golf course designed by Els himself.
It has been the holiday destination of choice for Harry Kane… even during periods where he was trying to force a move away from Tottenham.
Lewis’ £113m superyacht is where he reportedly spends most of his time.
It is 321-feet long, features a full-size tennis court and can house up to 16 guests.
He invited the Tottenham team aboard his yacht in 2013, with then captain Michael Dawson saying: «I had never met him before, so it was nice to go over there and a great experience.
“What a really nice guy. And that yacht is unreal! But he’s just a normal guy. You could chat to him about anything.
“He tunes into all the games, he loves it. We just sat there chatting. He made us feel so welcome over there. It was relaxed. A lot of team-bonding together.»
Lewis seldom travels to London to watch Spurs.
