Most of the stars in world football are very rich. Cristiano Ronaldo is the richest "working emperor" in the entire sports world. However, there is one player who chose to go into business after retiring. Now his business empire is very large. He is the former Arsenal midfielder Flamini. Former Arsenal midfielder Flamini's career has reached staggering new heights after retiring. According to the British "Sun" report, Flamini currently serves as the CEO of GF Biochemicals, a biochemical company he co-founded. His personal assets are said to be as high as an astonishing 10 billion pounds.

This number makes him the "richest man" in the history of Arsenal. There should be no player or coach with a wealth higher than him. From a player to a business tycoon, Flamini has completed an incredibly gorgeous turn. And the funny thing is that his net worth has even surpassed that of Arsenal's current owner Stan Kroenke. It would be very easy to buy Arsenal from Kroenke. Of course, Arsenal fans should not want to change the boss now. After all, it is one thing for the boss to have money, but it is another thing to be willing to invest money in the club.

Flamini officially retired in 2019, but his insight into business has been revealed as early as his playing days. Flamini co-founded GF Biochemicals with his partners back in 2010, midway through his career. After retiring, he held 60% of the company's shares and officially assumed the position of CEO. With the rapid development of this company, Flamini's personal assets exceeded 10 billion pounds in one fell swoop, surpassing Arsenal owner Kroenke in wealth, and far surpassing Ronaldo, the player recognized as the most profitable player. This achievement subverts people's traditional understanding of retired athletes and proves that top professional players can also possess excellent business acumen and execution capabilities off the court.

Flamini's GF Biochemicals is not an ordinary commercial entity. Its core business is to find green alternatives to petrochemical products and is committed to promoting the global transformation to a sustainable "circular bioeconomy". His team pioneered the commercial production of levulinic acid. This substance has been hailed as one of the cornerstone molecules of future chemistry. Levulinic acid can effectively replace petroleum-based products and is said to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80% in the manufacturing process of detergents, skin care products, etc.

Flamini's business not only created huge commercial value, but also had epoch-making environmental significance and social value. He has successfully transformed his passion and sense of purpose on the football field into responses to global environmental challenges. Flamini's business achievements and contribution to the field of sustainable development have been recognized at the highest levels around the world. Flamini was even received by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. From the midfielder running at the Emirates Stadium to the business tycoon discussing the future economy with the King at Buckingham Palace, Flamini's life trajectory is full of legend.
