Why is Faiq Bolkiah the richest football player in the world?
It was quite a revelation when the news broke out that Bolkiah is the wealthiest player in the world. However, it is not his footballing ability nor his stature in the sport that has earned him his riches. Unlike most players in the footballing industry who end up extremely wealthy as a result of prize money, expensive employment contracts and sponsorship deals, Bolkiah was fortunate enough to have been born into an incredibly wealthy family. The Brunei national is the son of the Sultan of Brunei, Prince Jefri. Jefri has been dubbed to own over two-thousand cars, which include cars from brands like Bentley and Ferrari. As an heir to his father’s wealth, Bolkiah is estimated to have a claim to a US$200bn fortune. This particular fact sets him apart from the rest of the footballing roster. Because of his connections to the royal family of Brunei, Faiq Bolkiah is the richest footballer in the world. However, the young man is determined to make it as a footballer due to his sheer love for the sport and nothing less. He claims to have support from his family in this regard. So far, Bolkiah has been trying to find his feet in club football in various leagues. It is yet to be seen whether he can leave a real mark on the sport as a footballer.

Top 5 male cricket captains of all time
Arguably Australia’s most composed captain, Steve Waugh started his reign in 1999-00, embarking on Australia’s dominance in world cricket. He captained 163 matches for Australia between 1999 and 2004. He holds the highest win record percentage in Test cricket history, of 71.92%, winning 41 matches out of 57. Under his captaincy, the Aussies won 16 consecutive Test matches, including the famous 5-0 victory over the West Indies. In 1999, the Australian team captained by Waugh clinched their second ICC World Cup. The team had a slow start, holding off Scotland and advancing to the next rounds. Waugh pulled Australia out from under the jaws of South Africa, playing his famous innings of 120* in the Super Sixes knockout round. Finally, the team had a comfortable victory over Pakistan to lift the trophy. In the cabinet of individual achievements, Waugh is only the second male cricketer to lift two World Cups. He scored over 10,000 runs in Test cricket, some of them coming in a very memorable innings in which he scored 157* in the fifth Test of The Ashes of 2001. Ignoring all medical advice, Waugh played this unbelievable knock limping on one leg. All of the above makes him a great contender for the best captain in the world.
