Millionaire ball boy who Eden Hazard booted is richer than England captain Harry Kane

Swansea City ball boy-turned-entrepreneur millionaire Charlie Morgan is reportedly richer than Tottenham and England star Harry Kane.

Morgan, now 27, first hit the national news headlines as a 17-year-old back in January 2013 when he memorably prevented Eden Hazard from retrieving the ball in a League Cup tie. The then-Chelsea winger kicked him in retaliation and was subsequently sent off.

While that looked to be his 15 minutes of fame done and dusted, Morgan has shockingly gone on to become a self-made millionaire after he and his former schoolmate Jackson Quinn co-founded Au Vodka.

And according to the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List, which has been released today (May 19), both of them have a higher net worth than Kane.

The Welshmen feature joint 27th on the 35 richest people under 35 in the UK section, sitting on a fortune of £55million each thanks to their shares in Au – an increase of £15m from last year.

That's thanks to the company's sales rising up to £43.9m from 2021 to 2022. Kane, in contrast, is earning a salary of £10.4m thanks to his £200k weekly wage.

The 29-year-old has protected his finances wisely and is said to have a net worth of £51m, with £13m of that being invested in a growing portfolio of property.

It's claimed Kane is renting his own house, however, which costs him £800k per year. Having three kids with childhood sweetheart and wife Katie Goodland, who's expecting their fourth, won't do his bank balance any favours either.

Morgan has had his focus on building a business empire ever since he and Quinn started Au just three years after the Hazard incident.

The pair attracted the attention of Charlie Sloth, who became a partial owner, and have sporting legends such as Ronaldinho and Floyd Mayweather as regular clients.

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra was recently seen advertising for them. Morgan has come a long way since tweeting "The king of all ball boys is back making final appearance #needed #for#timewasting" prior to the clash with Chelsea.
