Faiq Bolkiah, the richest soccer player in the world
Hello Steemians!
Today I want to talk to you about this character that made me very curious, because I always thought that both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were the best paid footballers in the world. Then this guy appears from nowhere and looks at why he turned out to be richer than them two
Neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Leonel Messi, the richest footballer in the world, is a young promise from Leicester City.
Faiq Bolkiah is a player practically unknown to the world. His name could appear a few times next to those of Messi or Cristiano, except for a very particular reason. This guy who belongs to Leicester City beats the greats of Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of his fortune; and is that it is the richest player in the world according to Forbes magazine, if you consider the fortune that your family treasures.
Bolkiah is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah who owns a fortune estimated at 20 billion dollars.
The millionaire footballer came to spend 35 million dollars in a month among luxury cars, watches and white gold. It also has tigers and leopards as pets. His family has about 600 Rolls-Royces and they own the largest palace in the world, valued at 350 million dollars, with 1,700 rooms and 257 bathrooms.
The wealth of his family is so great that eccentricities can not be absent. White tigers like pets, luxury cars and white gold accessories are common things for them. Also in members of his family like his father, Jefri Bolkiah, head of the Investment Agency of Brunei and when he turned 50 years old in his day he had the pleasure of enjoying a private concert by Michael Jackson, which cost him a whopping 12 millions of pounds
His passion for football has come since he was very young, which led him to England in search of his dream. After going through the Newbury, I have made several tests in teams of the Premier League as Southampton and Arsenal. Finally, Chelsea was the club that offered him his first contract as a footballer in the lower categories.
