Footballers who became very rich

[Xhavenjoe]

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.

He does kind of - a bit like Nevile he got in with some property investor types. Its unclear how much he has put in / made v's the other investors but he certainly has an involvement.

Sun Jihai worth about £20m after co-founding a sports data company called HaiQui Sports, which has over 400million users in China.

Always thought it was the housing stock in Oldham. Mind, neither would be worth much.

City have had a couple of very intelligent players, Paul Power qualified as a solicitor whilst still playing. Although my memory isn't great and happy to stand corrected
