Footballers who became very rich

Was watching a programme about global warming and substitutes for coal etc.
Who popped up but Matthieu Flamini.
He is worth more financially than Ronaldo and Messi

He is the co-founder of GF Biochemicals, the first company in the world to be able to mass-produce levulinic acid.

In short, it is a molecule made from plant waste that can be used as a substitute for petrol. He runs the company with partner Pasquale Granata.

With a believed net worth of over $10billion, he is worth more than his former club, Arsenal.

Haha I can’t believe this old story is still going around.


Matthieu Flamini is not worth 10Bn.

All these valuations are based on an article that said he could be worth that much if Levulinic Acid replaced oil as the primary ingredient in plastics and fuel.

You might have noticed no one is going to the luvulinic acid pump at Tesco.


It’s all hypothetical wealth based on what the product might be worth in the future.

The company recently raised $15m through venture capital. That gives an idea of how big they are currently.

Apart from the TV show I saw, Forbes say he is worth even more.
I have no knowledge of him other than what I see or hear.

Yeah, but seeing it on TV doesn't make it real unfortunately, and Forbes is an emag that's notorious for printing stupid numbers with no evidence. If you actually look up their "official" lists that they put in print, he's nowhere to be seen.

You can look it up yourself, they have a publicly disclosed revenue of $8m and no company worth $20Bn+ (Flamini is 50% owner) goes to the market to raise $15m of investment.

Flamini has also spoken publicly about how ridiculous the rumours are.

It's a nice story but it's completely made up.
