Can you guess who is the richest football player? He is from Leicester City. The guy is 19 years old. And he is the Brunei Sultan’s nephew. Meet Faiq Bolkiah.

Faiq's bankroll is estimated at about $ 20 billion. He was born in Los Angeles but decided to play for his country, for Brunei. He started his career in the native AFC Newbury when he was still a child, then he was taken to Southampton in in 2009. 


And in 2013 Faiq went to Arsenal for a trial. At that time Bolkiah wasn’t bound with a contract of any club and Chelsea immediately took advantage of this situation. The Blues offered him a 2-year deal. And in 2016 Bolkiah didn’t renew the contract with Londoners and went to Leicester. This time foxes signed him for 3 years.


There is no need to talk about the wealth of this guy. Just have a look at his father, who has 2300 cars in his property including the expensive ones like Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royces, according to the reports.

A young man is very fond of animals.

And adores his parents.

"I have been playing football ever since I remember myself. And from the very early age I liked to play and feel the ball on my feet. My parents always helped me in achieving my dream of becoming a football player."




"They trained me, both psychologically and physically, when I was a child. That is why I must say that they are the models of imitation for me"





By the way, Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, has recently met with the Queen of Great Britain.
