The Leicester City reserve player who is richer than Ronaldo and Messi combined
Bolkiah’s riches comes as a result of his royal lineage. The youngster is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah who is worth an estimated $20billion.
Career so far
Born in Los Angeles, Bolkiah started his football career with AFC Newbury from where he moved to the famous Southampton academy in 2009.
Although he wasn't handed a contract he was offered a trial by Arsenal in 2013 and played for the Gunners in the Lion City Cup where he even scored for them.
Chelsea quickly swapped in to hand him a contract which he signed.
After just a year in London with Chelsea, Bolkiah joined Leicester City on a three-year contract.
Although eligible to play for the United States of America, Bolkiah opted to play for Brunei and has had nine appearances for his country with just a goal.
His dad Jefri
His dad Jefri was said to have spent an estimated £10bn in 15 years as head of the Brunei Investment Agency.
According to reports, Jefri was at a time spending £35m a month on luxury cars and watches. He is believed to have owned a staggering 2, 300 cars.
He famously paid £12.5 million to late King of Pop Michael Jackson to perform at his 50th birthday
Despite these riches, Bolkiah is passionate about playing football.
"I’ve played football since as early as I can remember and from a young age I’ve always enjoyed going out on the field and having the ball at my feet,” he once said in an interview quoted by UK’s .
"My parents have always been supportive in helping me to achieve my dreams of being a footballer.
"They trained me hard both psychologically and physically through my childhood years, so I have to say they are my role models."
