Faiq Bolkiah is believed to be the richest footballer in the world, but he is nonetheless looking for a new squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He has played with Arsenal’s Chelsea academy in London but does not seem to have found the success that suits his fortune.<\/p>\n
Faiq Bolkiah became famous when he started training with the Southampton academy and then signed his first professional contract with the English club Leicester.<\/p>\n
He is the grandson of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, whose fortune is estimated at 18 billion euros.<\/p>\n
After closing his contract last year without any appearances on the field with Leicester, Faiq settled with the Portuguese team of Maritimo.<\/p>\n
But recently even this adventure of his to crack in the world of professional football took a hit with the closing of the contract with the Portuguese team that is currently ranked 15th.<\/p>\n
The club did not give specific reasons for the departure of the 23-year-old born in Los Angeles, who failed to make any appearances for the team.<\/p>\n
But in other respects Bolkiah’s social life continues to shine, as he previously posted on social media photos where he met Queen Elizabeth, and her circle.<\/p>\n
His father Jeffrey is the brother of oil tycoon Hassanal, a member of the Brunei royal family and heir to the sultan’s throne.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey is believed to have once owned 2,300 vehicles, including fleets with Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce.<\/p>\n
When Faiq turned seven, his father reportedly flew Michael Jackson to a private concert, for which he paid the late singer $ 12.5 million.<\/p>\n
But his former colleagues said he was an ordinary boy in the locker rooms.<\/p>\n
His friend Ruben Sammut told The Athletic: “You could never believe he was somewhere 12th in line for the throne. I played against him when I was on the Reading team. “We did not know who he was and even those at Chelsea did not initially know his origins.”<\/p>\n
