He’s in the top 170 richest people in the UK, but top 20 tax payers, before we start down that road.
Nah, footballers have a mass of coaching and support systems, he may have an incredible natural talent but that was nurtured and grown by many others. It is actually nice to see some sports people pay tribute to the teachers, coaches and people who helped them on the way up, instead of the bullshit myth that they battled alone against the world.
Ridiculously overpaid and a lot of o Michael Jordan’s wealth is down to his mums business acumen and revenue gained through marketing and advertising. That involves a lot of people. The trainer company that helped make him wealthy don’t have the best track record when it comes to treating their workers fairly either.
The whole “self made” horse shit helps to perpetuate the myth that these people are better than us plebs.

Seems like a nice chap and I’d bet he’d probably be one of the first to contribute his success to luck and those that work with/for him.

Thanks for helping illustrate the very point I was trying to making. Peace out and have a merry Christmas.
I’m not helping you do anything of the sort. I’m guessing you think I’m jealous or something. Im not, Im basically very left leaning and don’t think anyone should have access to obscene amounts of money. I live in hope of that fairytale existence of a fair world for all. There’s more than enough money to go around. I also despise how the media puts these people on pedestals for no other reason than money.
Merry Christmas back at ya 🎄😀
If you win the lottery, i’m putting that down as ‘self-made’.
Although you could say all the other hapless losers who also bought a ticket helped.
Does setting up a company that became a multi billion £ company count? Employing thousands at a decent wage too.
I'd suggest some some light reading. To be fair just the first few pages deals with why this is a bit of a falsehood.

And the people running it, the house always wins in any gambling game.
