Lionel Messi, the wealthiest footballer of 2024, is not Cristiano Ronaldo. His net worth is…Faiq Bolkiah is the world’s wealthiest footballer and the son of the Sultan of Brunei, a regal lineage that garners attention.
Bolkiah’s fortune is dwarfed by that of football icons such as Lionel Messi (USD 600 million) and Cristiano Ronaldo (USD 923 million), who have amassed their wealth through product endorsements and years of playing. His estimated net worth is USD 20 billion.
, on the other hand, is primarily affluent due to his status as a member of the Brunei royal family. He is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. Faiq Bolkiah was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 9, 1998, and has chosen to represent Brunei on the international stage.
Before transferring to Leicester City, he began his football career in the youth academies of prestigious clubs Chelsea and Southampton. Bolkiah’s journey to England has been anything but straightforward, despite his promising beginnings.
Nevertheless, he has not made a significant impact in European leagues and is currently a winger for Chonburi F.C. in Thailand’s top division.
Bolkiah’s football earnings are reported to be approximately USD 1,000 per week, which is quite low in comparison to those of many of his peers, despite the fame that comes with being an athlete.
His royal status could not have prevented him from dedicating himself to the sport to the extent that this figure indicates, despite the financial security it provided.
In the event that it is feasible, he continues to engage in rigorous training in order to re-establish himself at increased levels of football. The Brunei national team has been represented by Bolkiah since 2014, and he was appointed captain in 2018.
In the AFF Championship, he has made six appearances and tallied one goal against Laos… Faiq Bolkiah is a distinctive figure in the landscape of football, as he combines his regal heritage with his sporting ambition.
