Mathieu Flamini may start to worry. Soon he will perhaps lose his label as the richest French footballer. A French world champion is now challenging this very special status.
This is Frank Leboeuf. In an interview with So Foot, the former French international refuted rumors that he was ruined after his divorce. He even claims that the opposite is happening at the moment, namely that he is in a very comfortable financial situation.
Flamini has things to worry about
“My ex-wife, I gave her a lot of money but I had at least that much left afterward, I had a house in Los Angeles, an apartment in Marrais. I don’t know where this legend of bankruptcy comes from, he declared. And I don’t care what anyone thinks about my financial situation. I’m not Flamini but close: I had invested in the first online betting company and I hit the jackpot in 2021 by reselling my shares. I have always made a good living as a consultant, whether on RMC and for nineteen years on ESPN. I live very well, thank you.”
“My wife tells me to breathe a little”
So, if he is so comfortable, why does he have fun multiplying his appearances in advertisements? His response:
“Making an ad, for me as an actor, is ten seconds. Yesterday, I did one for free for the Arche refuge, but I also took 50 balls on Vidoleo. I was so short of money when I was 18 that I can’t refuse. My wife says to me: “But take a breath – But darling, it’s 50 euros for ten seconds”. Fifty balls is four hours of work for some people. I haven’t forgotten.” Not sure that its competitor Flamini thinks the same way.
