At the age of 38, Lukas Podolski has not yet drawn a line under his football career. The striker still walks the pitch, in his country of origin, Poland, with the jersey of Gornik Zabrze, a club currently playing in the Polish first division.
Having worked for Bayern Munich and Arsenal, Lukas Podolski has succeeded in his new life as an entrepreneur since the fortune of the 2014 world champion is estimated at 207 million euros. His ice cream business, “Ice Cream United,” was a success that prompted him to venture into the sandwich business with a kebab chain opened in Germany. “ I have to be honest, when someone looks for things to do in Cologne to see if it’s worth going, they think: why not try a Podolski kebab? », concluded the former scorer, with cunning and relish. A formidable goal hunter, the former Mannshaft striker is always hungry.
