Why Louis Saha Needs a Bigger Piggy Bank…
Former Manchester United star, Louis Saha, might be sitting pretty on a £4.3 billion pile, but that’s chump change next to Faiq Bolkiah. Saha, who gave defenders headaches for the Red Devils from 2004 to 2008, now stacks his cash through AxisStars, a company he started to help retired athletes. He might have two Premier League trophies and a Champions League medal, but against Bolkiah’s £16 billion jackpot, Saha’s looking more like a First League pauper.
Saha’s shiny business, a brainchild with marketing whiz Kate Hamer, has helped him hobnob with over 500 ex-athletes, but he’s still counting coins compared to Bolkiah. The former Leicester winger, who moonlights as the Sultan of Brunei’s nephew, seems to laugh at Louis’s wealth – possibly while sipping royal tea and petting his gold-plated cat.
Meanwhile, Bolkiah dodges real jobs, playing left-wing in Thailand for Ratchaburi. After a nasty leg break benched him for almost a year, he finally graced the pitch again with an Insta post that could make even the most devoted ice pack fan shed a tear. We guess it’s hard to keep the world’s richest footballer down for long, eh?
