He is the richest player on the planet, yet you have no idea who he is. He is worth 27 times what Cristiano Ronaldo is worth, 33 times what Lionel Messi is worth, and 50 times what Neymar is worth. Faiq Bolkiah, the richest football player in the world, is only 22 years old. He is a Bruneian national who was a part of Leicester City's squad, albeit he never played for them in a professional match. He was a member of both Chelsea's and Southampton's youth teams.
He signed his first professional contract with Leicester in 2016, however he did not play in the Premier League for the Foxes. Not because of football, but because of his powerful family, he became the world's richest athlete.Faiq Bolkiah is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei, a wealthy oil-rich nation. The footballer's fortune is reported to be around $20 billion (about R200 billion). Faiq Bolkiah is also the son of Prince Jefri, the world's richest man, who has spent more than $15 billion on himself (R150 billion).
Prince Jefri owns around 2,300 luxury autos, eight Boeing planes, five watercraft, 500 residences, and other mansions. He even paid $17 million (R170 million) for a private Michael Jackson concert, all to satisfy his seven-year-old son.
He is currently a member of the Maritimo team in Portugal, where he has been since last year. He used to make $130,000 per week at Leicester, according to reports, butI'm sure it was just some extra cash for him.
