We may think of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi when we hear “world’s richest footballer,” as they are two of the highest-paid players in modern times. The Mirror reports that Ronaldo and Messi’s wealth still falls short of Faiq Bolkiah’s.Sultan of Brunei nephew Bolkiah was born in Los Angeles.
He played at Newbury’s youth academy before joining Southampton, Chelsea, and Leicester City’s.
After signing his first professional contract as a left-winger with Maritimo in 2020, the player played only one game for the U23 team before leaving to Chonburi in Thailand the following year.
He had two goals and four assists in 32 Chonburi outings. Three years later, he moved to Ratchaburi, where he plays professionally. He has played six times for Brunei, scoring one goal. He is 26 years old and has dual citizenship from America and Brunei.
He played youth football for Chelsea with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham, but never made the Premier League.
