Since Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the highest-paid athletes in the contemporary era, we might picture them when we hear the phrase “world’s richest footballer.”
According to The Mirror, Faiq Bolkiah’s wealth still surpasses that of Ronaldo and Messi.Bolkiah, the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei, was born in Los Angeles.
Prior to playing for Southampton, Chelsea, and Leicester City, he attended the Newbury youth program.
The youngster played just one game for the U23 team in 2020 after agreeing to his first professional contract with Maritimo as a left-winger. The following year, he went for Chonburi in Thailand.
In 32 Chonburi games, he recorded two goals and four assists.
He relocated to Ratchaburi three years later, where he now plays professionally.
He has one goal in his six appearances for Brunei. He is 26 years old and holds Bruneian and American citizenship.
Although he never made it to the Premier League, he played youth football for Chelsea alongside Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
