Faiq Bolkiah becomes the world's richest footballer

Faiq Bolkiah is now the world's richest footballer, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Bolkiah, a member of Brunei's royal family, is reportedly worth $20 billion, while Messi and Ronaldo earn significant salaries from their clubs. Bolkiah plays for Ratchaburi FC in Thailand and has represented Brunei internationally. He made his senior debut in 2016 and currently captains the national team. Despite his wealth, Bolkiah's football career has been less prominent than that of Messi and Ronaldo. He recently returned to play after a long injury layoff, contributing to his team's recent victory.
