Hazard kicked him |
Ball boy now worth more than real star
Does the name Charlie Morgan mean anything to you?
This is the ball boy who was kicked by then-Chelsea star Eden Hazard (31/now at Real Madrid) in the second leg of the 2013 League Cup semi-final (0-0) for failing to release the ball to make time for Swansea flay. At the time, Morgan was 17 and Swansea City had won the first leg 2-0 at the Blues.
The amazing thing: Today, Morgan (26) is the owner of a thriving vodka company worth £40m The Sun” reports.
For comparison: The market value of the Belgian Hazard is only 12 million euros. Only in the last league game for Real (4-1 win at Celta Vigo) did Hazard miss a penalty in the closing stages. It’s been better for the left winger…
A ball boy is now worth more than a real world star!
Hazard received a red card for his kick. Swansea advanced to the final, beating Bradford City 5-0 at Wembley Stadium in London. By the way, the German goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel (Unterhaching, Hannover 96, Hertha, Energie Cottbus) was in the Welsh goal at the time.
He founded the company Morgans, which is called Au Vodka, in 2016 together with his school friend Jackson Quinn. Sales steadily increased, but the breakthrough came in December 2019, when the company managed to sell 10,000 bottles of Black Grape vodka in one month.
Now the vodka empire has put Charlie Morgan on the Sunday Times’ list of the richest people of 2022.
The father of the young entrepreneur is Martin Morgan, boss of Swansea FC and owner of a hotel chain. But thanks to his vodka businesses, Charlie has stepped out of his father’s shadow.
Even more: Some famous personalities openly show that they admire the vodka that Charlie has made. Among them are ex-soccer star Ronaldinho (42), Wayne Lineker (60), Gary’s brother, and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather (45).
