American businesswoman and television personality, Martha Stewart is now a co-owner of a Welsh soccer club, Swansea City, the club announced on Tuesday.
Lifestyle expert Stewart, the first female self-made billionaire in the United States, was in attendance as a guest for Swansea’s 2-1 championship win over Wrexham last Friday.
“We are very excited to welcome Martha on board,” the club said in a statement.
“We know experiencing Friday night’s game in-person has only increased her own enthusiasm and anticipation for being part of Swansea City.”
Stewart is the latest celebrity to become a minority co-owner of the club, with U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg coming on board in July.
Luka Modric is also a minority co-owner, the Ballon d’Or winner joining in April.
Swansea, who are 19th in the Championship, will face leaders Coventry City later on Friday.
