FORMER Chelsea prodigy Marko Mitrovic is now a millionaire – a year after quitting football.
The Swede joined the Blues in 2009 with a big reputation after impressing for Malmo’s youth team.
But he failed to make his mark at Stamford Bridge and left in 2012 without making a senior appearance for Chelsea.
Fast forward 12 years and Mitrovic is now out of the game altogether, having retired last year following a spell at S.C. Beira-Mar.
And he has found success away from the pitch thanks to his company Arktis Naturals, which sells CBD products.
According to Sportbladet, Mitrovic has amassed a small fortune in the millions of pounds, with his company projected to make a turnover of £5million this year, and £15m next year.

The former striker was recommended CBD during his career, and his supplements are designed to help athletes and individuals who lead active lifestyles.
Mitorvic revealed CBD had a big impact on his physical wellbeing and he is hoping to help others in need with his product.
He told Sportbladet: “It was an incredible difference. Huge advantages compared to how I had been before. It was… spectacular.
“I think there is a legitimate medicine here. We are talking about something that can really help people.
