Suddenly, the name of billionaire Hansorg Weiss rose to the fore in the media's attention after his association with the purchase of English club Chelsea from Russian businessman Roman Abramovich.
What is his relationship with US President Joe Biden?
Weiss told the Swiss newspaper, Blake, that he is considering buying Chelsea, and added in an interview published on Wednesday, "Abramovic is currently trying to sell all the properties he owns in England, and he also wants to get rid of this club quickly. I and 3 others have received an offer to buy."
The Swiss billionaire - whose fortune is estimated at about $ 6 billion - was born in Bern to a simple family. His successful career began in the business world from the United States after graduating from Harvard University, where he worked in the textile and automobile industries, before specializing in the field of advanced medical equipment.
A report by the French RMC website states that Wess is known in the United States for his closeness to the Democratic Party to which President Biden belongs, and he is one of the most prominent donors to the party's activities.
The site indicated that Face was keen in the past years to donate to environmental causes, and also gave money to support issues that intersect with the interests of Democrats, and helped the party in its electoral process that culminated in choosing Biden as president.

He is known for his fondness for skateboarding, but he has never been associated with the football world before.
In his interview with the newspaper "Blick", the Swiss billionaire said that he will have to wait 4 or 5 days to see how things turn out.
"I am considering making an offer with partners to buy Chelsea, but first I have to check the general conditions carefully. What I can already say is that I certainly would not do something like this on my own. If I buy Chelsea, it will be with a consortium of 6 or 7 investors."
And the Russian businessman Roman Abramovich decided, earlier, to sell Chelsea FC, and pledged to donate the money to help the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Abramovich had bought the West London club in 2003, and the investments made by Chelsea helped it achieve the most successful period in its history, winning 5 Premier League titles, the FA Cup, and the Champions League twice.
Abramovich - who also holds dual Israeli and Portuguese citizenships - became one of the most powerful Russian businessmen, by achieving a huge fortune after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Forbes magazine estimated his net worth at about 13.3 billion dollars.
