Story of Young Footballer Who's Richer Than Messi and Ronaldo

His name is Faiq Bolkiah. The midfielder boasts a list of former clubs that includes Southampton, Chelsea and Leicester City, as well as a trial with Arsenal.

Faiq is filthy rich. He comes from wealth. His uncle is Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, and in a 2019 article by the Insider it was reported that Hassanal has 500 Rolls-Royces and regularly spends $20,000 to get his hair cut.

Hassanal was once the richest man in the world, worth as much as $40 billion, and his nephew Faiq is one beneficiary of that.

Faiq's dad is also one of the rich and big spenders in their country, being a member of the royal family.

Faiq is worth an estimated $20 billion, which makes him the richest footballer in the world by some distance.

By comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo is valued by Goal at £363 million.

“I’ve played football since as early as I can remember and from a young age I’ve always enjoyed going out on the field and having the ball at my feet,” he once said in a rare interview.
