From Football Star to Billionaire: The Success of a Manchester United Hero

Louis Saha's Impressive Journey

Louis Saha boasts a multi-billion net worth which is over seven times more than former Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo’s. The Frenchman - who played for the Premier League giants from 2004 to 2008 - enjoyed a fruitful career at Old Trafford. Saha, 46, won two league titles, the Champions League and League Cup under Sir Alex Ferguson, scoring 42 goals in 124 games.

Transition to Business

After retiring from football in 2013 at 35 after stints at Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland and Lazio, the ex-France international ventured into business. Saha turned it up a notch with his company ‘AxisStars’ - which is now worth a jaw-dropping £4.3billion. The staggering net worth of Saha’s business places it worth over seven times more than Ronaldo’s impressive £600m net worth.

AxisStars: Athlete and Entertainer Connection

The firm, co-founded by Kate Hamer, connects relationships between professional athletes, entertainers, and trusted partners. Saha teamed up with technological executive Patrice Arnera in the development of the business establishment. According to several sources, more than 550 ex-athletes are connected with the firm.

A Shift in Career Focus

Saha admitted that starting up AxisStars has surpassed anything he’s done in his footballing career. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” he said. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo, with his numerous revenue streams, has been a pivotal figure in the sports industry with his brand 'CR7' and various endorsements.
