      I played for England but quit football for fashion – My label made £6.6m last year and I’m on the Rich List worth £88m

      by

      FOOTBALLER, Reece Wabara, hung up his boots in 2017 to launch his own fashion label – and now he is worth £88million.The former Man City right-back felt uninspired by his footie career and decided to kickstart his profitable side hustle.

      After his contract with Man City ended by mutual consent in 2014, Wabara jumped into entrepreneurship with both feet.
      Following former school mate Lewis Morgan, who co-founded Gym Shark, the then 22-year-old launched and invested £15,000 into Maniere De Voir.
      He told previously said: “I kept asking, where can I maximise my potential to be great.
      “I always had a way of dressing that was different and Lewis (Morgan, co-founder of Gymshark) said to me, ‘You should do something in fashion’.”

      Despite a rocky start, profits today have doubled to £6.6 million from last year and Oxford Street, London will soon welcome Wabara’s first store.
      Sport icons including Anthony Joshua and Raheem Sterling have donned apparel from the brand,
      And Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards is also reportedly a supporter.
      ‘FOOTBALLER TO FASHION’
      Man City recruited Reece when he was 16 and by 19 he had been offered a three-year £1million-per-year deal.
      Most read in Football
      But this was ended in 2014 and the young player struggled to regain a place in a first team.
      He bounced around on loan to various clubs including Blackpool, Doncaster Rovers, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers.
      By 2017, the 26-year-old decided the only pitch he wanted in his life was in the fashion board room.
      He previously said he “knew my football days at City were coming to an end” and his dad encouraged him to find another source of income.
      “The transition from footballer to fashion owner was a gradual one and only when the numbers and politics in football started to eat away at me did I need to make a choice,” he told Sports On Screen.
      “My football wasn’t progressing in the way I intended it to.
      “The business was progressing at an alarming rate and I had to choose one or the other because focus is important.”
      And focus he did, working seven days a week around the clock to get his business on its feet.
      In a genius business plan move, the young entrepreneur designed and produced more women’s clothing in Maniere De Voir.
      “Men are very simple by nature,” he said.
      “There’s only so much you can do with those silhouettes.
      “Whereas women are more experimental – and they shop a lot more, typically.”
      The inclusion of women’s clothes massively helped boost sales and Manière de Voir’s biggest-selling lines include £100 high-waisted cargo pants and £90 vegan leather corsets.
      Much of the range is designed by Reece himself, including £30 T-shirts and more expensive £90 tracksuits.
      From his first year turnover of £1million, some seven years later he was raking in £30.2million.
      Talking about his success sky-rocketing overnight, he said: “I was super-naïve, so I just thought that was normal.”
      “My football wasn’t progressing in the way I intended it to, the business was progressing at an alarming rate and I had to choose one or the other because focus is important.”Reece Wabara
      Reece landed himself a spot on the Sunday Times Young Rich List – above footballer Marcus Rashford and level with rapper Stormzy’s net worth.
      Yet Wabara, now 31, still told The Times he often feels like a “failure” because his dreams of becoming a successful footballer were shattered so quickly.
      He said: “I honestly don’t feel I’ve achieved that much.
      “I honestly feel like I’m just getting started.”
      This year’s Times Young Rich List includes four other people who attended South Bromsgrove High School.
      Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan, who founded athletic wear giant Gym Shark.
      Another successful gym wear brand for women, Aybl, now worth 10s of millions, was created by Reiss and Kris Edgerton.
      At 30 and 29, the brothers opened up about the fact they used to brainstorm ideas on Skype with the UK’s youngest billionaire.
      They spoke about their rise to success – from feeling lost after leaving their studying plans behind, and making a mere £150 a week.
      But it doesn’t appear teachers at the school were the source of Reece’s inspiration.
      “No — I can’t even remember their names,” he joked.
      The Manchester-based company is now estimated to be worth £100 million and Reece pockets 83 per cent of the shares.
      KEY TO SUCCESS
      The fashion designer believes taking the time to create a sustainable approach is key to making his fortune.
      The 31-year-old highlighted the balance between being brave enough to take the risk but smart enough to keep within your financial means.
      He said he has borrowed limited money and even paid himself an annual salary below what his footballer pals would earn in a week.
      He said: “Grow slowly, target sustained profit over short-lived accelerated revenue and always focus on your customers, not your competitors.
      “Don’t let monetary success create complacency or make you think you are untouchable.”

      He advised keeping the company of people who will be honest with you and try to stay out of the limelight.
      When asked if he thinks his brand will take him to the main Sunday Times Rich List, he said: “Let’s see, I’ll do the best I can and see where it lands me.”

      Ratcliffe, 70, is set to beat off strong interest from Qatari Sheikh Jassim, who wants to buy the club outright from the Glazers.
      Sheikh Jassim has risen his offer in a last-ditch attempt to beat off Ratcliffe’s bid – although the Brit’s proposal is said to still value United more highly.
      According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2023, Ratcliffe’s fortune has risen significantly in the last 12 months.
      In their 2022 list he featured at 27th, but this time around he is up to second after an eyewatering £23.613bn increase in his fortune.

      Ratcliffe’s worth is now said to be £29.688bn – only behind that of the Hinduja family.
      The Rich List’s Robert Watts told the PA of Ratcliffe’s rise up the rankings: “This year we have new information about the full scale of Ineos’ profits and that has made us confident that Ineos is now worth at least £40bn.
      “We have also learned more about the personal assets that Jim has accumulated over the past 25 years.”
      Sheikh Jassim’s recent last-ditch offer came after Avram Glazer was spotted leaving a hotel owned by the takeover hopeful’s father.

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO claimed the title of highest-paid sportsman in the world when he signed with Al Nassr at the end of 2022.The former Manchester United star’s astonishing wealth perhaps comes as no surprise, however, when considering the fact that the Portuguese star is the world’s most popular athlete with over 855 million social media followers.
      Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo pictured during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in November 2022Credit: Visionhaus//Getty Images
      What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s salary at Al-Nassr? 
      In December 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr and became the highest-paid sportsman of all time.
      The father of five will earn a staggering £62m a year, in wages alone, after moving to Saudi Arabia and signing for the team, but the coins won’t stop there.
      Ronaldo could earn as much as £173m for every year he is with the Saudi side, thanks to the various commercial opportunities and incentives involved within the deal.
      His full Al-Nassr deal is thought to be set to run over seven years in total, and it’s believed that Ronaldo will take on an ambassadorial role when it ends.
      Read more on Cristiano Ronaldo
      That means that Ronaldo, over the course of the contract, could take home as much as £1.2billion.
      At the time of his Al-Nassr signing, Ronaldo said: “I’m thrilled for new experience in a different league and a different country.
      “The vision that Al-Nassr has is very inspiring. I am very excited to join my team-mates, to help the team to achieve more success.”
      The football superstar had been a free agent since his Manchester United contract was terminated in November 2022. 
      Most read in Football
      Ronaldo has since moved to Saudi Arabia with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, and their family.
      The former Real Madrid player’s eldest child is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, born 2010, and he is also father to twins Eva and Mateo, who were born in 2017.
      Rodriguez and Ronaldo welcomed their first child together, a baby daughter called Alana Martina, on November 12, 2017.
      Four years later the couple announced they were expecting twins but, tragically, after Rodriguez gave birth in April 2022, the pair announced that their baby boy had passed away.
      The couple have since named their baby daughter Bella Esmeralda.
      What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth? 
      Ronaldo’s net worth was estimated to be somewhere between £210m and £230m before his deal with Al-Nassr.
      It has since risen to an estimated £363m, though there is no definitive amount publicly known.
      Ronaldo is, however, the best paid footballer in the world, definitively.
      He is also the highest paid overall sportsman in the world, leaving basketball star LeBron James, in second place, and Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi in third.
      How does Cristiano Ronaldo earn his money?
      Ronaldo has a range of commercial deals and other ventures, some of which are tied to his football contract, that are expected to boost his yearly income to around £173m.
      Thanks to his huge popularity, and swarm of social media followers, the star has landed head-to-toe sponsorships with brands like Nike, Sacoor Brothers suits and Monster headphones.
      His lifetime contract with the sportswear manufacturers Nike, which began in 2003, is worth an astonishing £1billion in itself.
      Ronaldo joined the luxury watch brand Tag Heuer in 2014 as long term brand Ambassador, and has also acted as brand ambassador for Castrol.
      He first teamed up with the oil company in 2009 when he signed a two year deal worth £8.2m.
      His affiliation with Castrol was extended in 2011 when he renewed the contract for £5.5m.
      Others brands Ronaldo has teamed up with in the past include Coca Cola, KFC, video games maker Konami and airline Emirates.
      Ronaldo has no shortage of companies who are keen to sign him and his own CR7 empire is also hugely popular.
      Named after the football superstar, CR7 started as Ronaldo’s personal brand of underwear.

      It has now expanded to different categories like sportswear, footwear, and a sock collection.
      Ronaldo also has his own hotels in Portugal’s capital Lisbon, and his hometown of Funchal on the island of Madeira. More

      Wilkinson is a lifelong Hatter and was a founding member of Luton Town 2020, the consortium of supporters who led the club out of administration in 2008.
      Before Wilkinson’s appointment, the team had been without a chairman in name since television presenter and BBC newsreader Nick Owen stood down from the role in August 2017.
      Wilkinson had already undertaken many of the responsibilities of chairman in his role as vice chairman, a position he took up in 2014.
      Read more on luton town
      After his appointment he said in a statement that, while he was “touched and honoured by this offer,” it wouldn’t really mean “much change”.
      He explained: “As vice chairman I have chaired all board meetings, attended Football League meetings, sat on committees, helped to host visitors and represent us at other clubs and events.”
      Wilkinson added: “I cannot express to you how proud I am to have been given this opportunity.”
      Prior to being vice chairman for Luton Town, Wilkinson was the club’s director.

      What is David Wilkinson’s net worth? 
      Wilkinson’s net worth is not publicly known but his squad is estimated to be worth £25.74million, as per Transfermarkt.
      Luton have set their sights on playing in the Premier League.
      In May 2023 they reached the Championship play-off final after overcoming Sunderland.
      The Hatters won 3-2 on aggregate and will now face Coventry in the final at Wembley on May 27.
      If they are successful, the club – led by manager Rob Edwards – will have to upgrade their Kenilworth Road stadium so that it meets Premier League requirements.
      The work could cost £10million to carry out.
      Luton’s stadium is one of the most unique in the football league, with fans having to walk over gardens to get inside.
      Fans have to climb metal staircases above resident’s gardens to access the away stand, while patios from adjacent houses back on to the stadium.
      Local resident Abdul Ali’s family home is metres away from the entrance and backs on to the ground.
      He told The Sun in April 2023: “We used to have footballs smashing our window every so often when they accidentally got kicked out when teams tried to score.

      “It was kind of annoying at the time, it used to drive my dad mad.
      “We complained and complained and the club finally put up netting and some corrugated iron to stop it.” More
