Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi are undoubtedly two of the great players who have marked the history of football. Both seem insurmountable, however, despite all the luxuries they show through their social networks, they are not the richest in the world.
It is already known that during the 15 years on average that the career of an elite footballer usually lasts, the players manage to make great fortunes. Nonetheless, Currently there are many who are investing in other types of businesses with an eye to the future.
One of the most outstanding during his football career, on and off the field, has been Mathiey Flamini. The Frenchman ended his professional career in 2019 at Getafe, but stood out at other teams such as Arsenal, Milan or Olympique de Marseille.
Flamini stood out in the field for being very correct. He grew up in the ranks of the lower categories of the Marseille team and, after playing for a year with the first team, he left for Arsenal in 2004. Four years later he was sold to AC Milan, where he stayed for five seasons before returning to England and later finishing his career at Getafe.
This player he is the only footballer who has managed to surpass the accumulated fortune of Cristiano Ronaldo in all the years of his professional career.
With the money he earned on grass he founded an organic company in 2008 under the name GF Biochemichals. This entity produces a chemical substance that could replace petroleum with the factor that it is less polluting.
A novel initiative to take care of the environment that would currently be valued at 30 billion euros. A figure that not even Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to reach with his multiple companies and advertisements, despite being the person with the most followers on Instagram.
Cristiano Ronaldo is estimated to have a fortune that would exceed 880 billion euros, which means that Flamini would exceed this figure by more than 30 times.
Fortune that allows the player not to have any worries about the future. Today the Frenchman does not have any team at 37 years old and, although he finished playing for Getafe in 2019, he still does not consider that he has retired from football.
What is clear is that the French businessman has one of the largest fortunes in the world solely with his company.
I could buy the team in which Cristiano Ronaldo plays
Flamini’s wealth is such that it could even buy several of today’s most important and valuable football teams at the same time if you wanted your future to be the owner of one of them.
Some like him Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool or Manchester United would currently be valued at approximately a figure that would be around 4 billion euros. A minimal amount compared to the total fortune of the French millionaire, who if he wanted could even buy all five clubs at the same time to further fill his portfolio.
Now he is very focused on his ecological company to which he dedicates most of his social media space, but in the future he could make the decision to become the owner of one of the most important clubs in Europe.
