By Sportingintelligence 24 May 2016 Leicester's miraculous 5000-1 Premier League title win in 2015-16 made them globally famous but the prize money table for the season was topped by Arsenal, with official figures released today showing they have pocketed £100,952,257 from central funds alone. The money comes primarily from the PL’s huge TV deals but also includes Arsenal's share of the league’s central commercial income. Manchester City were the second highest earners, making £96,971,603, followed by Manchester United (£96.5m) then Tottenham (£95.2m), with Leicester in fifth place on £93.2m. The lowest earning club, Aston Villa, earned £66.6m, the biggest sum ever for a bottom-placed club. The money is allocated in various ways, described in more detail below - and will soar upwards again next year, also described below - but first, a summary graphic of who won what, to the nearest pound.
