When we think of the world’s wealthiest footballer, names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi often come to mind, given their high earnings over the years.
However, according to The Mirror, all the riches accumulated by Messi and Ronaldo add together only close to the net value of Bolkiah. On contrary, it reveals that his Bolkiah is 12 times more wealthy as compared to two football super stars. Nephew to Sultan of Brunei, this youth was born in Los Angeles.
Bolkiah started at the youth levels with Newbury. He then played through the youth academies of Southampton, Chelsea, and Leicester City.

In 2020, he signed for Maritimo as a left-winger; however, Bolkiah only played for the U23 team and never played for the senior team. He then moved to Chonburi FC in Thailand. Bolkiah played 32 matches and scored two goals with four assists.
In 2023, he switched to Ratchaburi, where he continues his professional career. The 26-year-old holds dual citizenship with the United States and Brunei, and he has earned six international caps for Brunei, scoring once.
While he didn’t reach the Premier League, Bolkiah did play alongside future stars like Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham during his time in Chelsea’s youth setup.
