Chelsea Football Club's wage bill shot up £25m in the year to 30 June 2015, its latest Companies House filing shows.
It means Chelsea's wage bill was the highest of all the Premier League clubs at £215.6m, compared with £190m a year earlier.
Manchester United came second with a £203m wage bill, Manchester City third on £193.8m and Arsenal fourth on £192m.
Chelsea won the Premier League title and the League Cup in 2015.
The bill does not split out the amount spent on player wages from backroom and ground staff.
