Former Barcelona striker made a fortune off the pitch. Empire worth 250 million dollars

Martin Braithwaite, known for his time at FC Barcelona, found significant success in real estate investments through NYCE Companies. Starting with $850,000 in 2017, he focused on affordable housing and smart homes, leading to a tenfold return in his first year. His wealth, now estimated at over $287 million, made him one of the richest footballers, second only to Lionel Messi at one point. Currently playing for Gremio, Braithwaite views football as a passion rather than his primary income source, and he continues to diversify his investments into the food and clothing industries.
