The Blues beat French giants PSG to the signing of the French international from then-champions Leicester in 2016.
And Gregory Dakad and Abdelkarim Douis will have been pretty happy that the deal went through.
According to a document that was found by Football Leaks and quotes by Mediapart, Dakad pocketed £6.36m and Douis went away with £4.24m.
When you compare those amounts with the £34m paid for the man many believe is the best defensive midfielder in the world, it's surprising to say the least.
And Chelsea director and the person who oversees the transfer dealings, Maria Granovskaia, believed it was a good idea to warn Abramovich.
Football Leaks claims to have the email she sent the Blues supremo detailing the transfer.
In it she warns the Russian billionaire "not to faint".
N'GOLO KANTE – FOOTBALL'S MR NICE
N'GOLO KANTE turned down a nice little earner to prove again he is one.
The 5ft 6ins French World Cup winner, 27, reportedly refused to let his image rights be paid to an offshore tax haven, instead telling Chelsea he just wants a "normal salary".
That revelation is the latest example of why many say the 27-year-old is the nicest man in football, as well as the most humble.
Of course, you won't hear Kante claiming that, as shyness and modesty are two common descriptions of the man who made history by winning back-to-back Premier League titles with Leicester and Chelsea.
Midfielder Kante's workrate on the pitch is legendary.
And some say the 2016-17 double player-of-the-year has been the Prem's most effective performer since moving to the King Power from Caen the season before.
So why is Kante also so popular off the field?

The agents benfited from Kante not moving to the French league.
French law limits commissions to 10 per cent of the transfer amount, whereas there is no limit currently in England.
SunSport reported how amid all the murky details from the leaks, is one that paints Kante – who once watched himself on Match of the Day after being invited to hang out round a fan's house – as a shining light.
It is alleged that an offshore company was set up for Kante – who earlier this season consoled an upset Arsenal fan – to pay his image rights into.
This tax haven would, it has been claimed, save him around £870,000 a year on his salary.
But now it has emerged that Kante allegedly refused to be part of the scheme, despite Chelsea's alleged insistence he do so.
It is claimed Kante originally agreed for the scheme to be set up but then refused to sign the documents to complete the deal.
Instead, Kante allegedly asked the club for a "normal salary".
