....now worth a whopping £10 billion only 4 years after retirement, or in more understandable terms, about 10-15x CR7's current net worth.

Are there any other examples of Footballers doing this well after they finished playing?

Remember reading a story about him about three years ago. Actually doing something that could change the world.
 
Agger and I believe his brother are kings of waste management, it's not a joke.

Louis Saha is supposed to also be doing extremely well.

There is a context to, his father is a wealthy man who subsidized the business.

Yeah, Saha has a net worth of around 5 billion. :lol:

That latino kid in Cali won 2.3 billion in the Powerball Lottery a few months ago. The lucky feck.
 
The Flamini story is a huge exaggeration FYI, it's been round for years, but seems to have no substance to it. I think it's something that gets infrequently repeated by bad journalists and football social media accounts, after someone mistook either an ambition or statement about the potential market opportunity to be the value of his company. Pitchbook seems to refer to a $17m valuation. Given the company has 36 employees on LinkedIn, I doubt it's much more than that.
 
Dave Whelan went from a leg break in an FA cup final to working a market stall, setting up a supermarket chain, owned JJB and Wigan, and then winning the FA cup with Wigan 50 years later.

I'd say he had a fair few pounds.

I remember when he started his consulting business, he was on TV and he was so eloquent, so professional. Even Football executives don't sound like that and he had barely retired.
 
As far as I recall Oliver Bierhoff made a ton of money on Yahoo stock in the 90s but nothing close to Flamini.

I thought this was debunked several times. It is a company with 50 employees, with revenue (not profits) around 8M. No chance in hell he is worth 10B (or even 1B), even if he owns 100% of the company. Their Series A funding (in 2012) was 15 million, which likely means that the company has evaluation of sub 100M (probably sub 50M). I think he owned half of it before Series A, so his stake at the company is likely 10M (at most).
 
Thomas Gravesens having a fecking whale of the time by the looka of things.

That's amazing! Is that like true net worth, unlike Flamini?

Of course it is not true. He owns a company with 9 people who have an app which brings less than 5m in revenue. So no, he is not worth 5B, 500M, or 50M.

I guess people are mixing billions with millions.

How much a company makes in revenue and profit/loss isn't really relevant to what it's worth

Twitter is worth $40 billion but it doesn't have a lot of revenue or profit, and since Musk took over doesn't have that many employees either!

Forbes, in 2020, reckoned his stake was worth $10 billion so who knows!

How much a company makes in revenue and profit is usually proportional to its value.

Forbes never estimated his value at 10B.

Are people seriously suggesting that a company who essentially makes no money, you have never heard about it, got 15M in 2022 (2 years after that alleged estimation) as Series A funding, is actually twice as valuable as BioNTech who makes 10B in profits (dozens of billions in revenue), or as valuable as Moderna who makes around 10B in profits (and dozens in revenue)? How is that possible, unless we completely suspend any form of rationality and critical thinking.

BTW, Twitter was making around 5B or so in revenue and Musk still overpaid for it.

Not anymore, the valuation of a company nowadays is often based on it's potential not it's actual revenue and profits, Uber is a prime example of that and to a lesser extent so are United

With this company I suspect the "value" is actually based on its technology and patents, the latter can be very lucrative

I guess the only way we'll ever know is if he or his partner decide to sell

The Series A funding is itself an evaluation. Of course that for a company that makes no money, it is based on projected future cash flows, but no company with those revenues can be evaluated at tens of billions. And if that was the case, why did the Series A funding was just 15M? Typically, the investors in series A take 15-25% of the company. If we assume 20% (the mean), that puts the company’s value last year at around 75M. Which is far more reasonable, albeit a bit on the higher side for a company with less than 50 employees.
