Most of this footballers barely have a solid investment,all they do is club & party...So all that amount being said might not even be in their account.

One of the reason why Mikel is not ready to leave Chelsea reserve bench anytime soon. Congrats to him though. Eto'o had a very good football career.

That's okay. But they are not the richest.











Are they?

Umu igbo jisi'nike!

Sai UMU IGBO. Well done.
