It is pertinent to note that black players often find it difficult to marry because of the potential implications. Even when they find the ideal spouse, many people are hesitant to make a full commitment to marriage. Instead, they may decide to have children with their partner and provide for them in all ways without formalizing the partnership. Divorce can have a financial impact, even on some of the world’s most successful football players.
Here are ten athletes who lost almost everything following their divorce.
1. Emmanuel Eboue
After his divorce in England, Eboue lost custody of his children and all his properties to his ex-wife, leaving him with nothing.
2. Thierry Henry
The legendary striker was required to pay £10 million to his wife following their divorce. Additionally, Henry admitted he faced mental health challenges during his first year at Barcelona
3. Louis Saha
The former Manchester United forward lost half of his fortune to his wife after their divorce, significantly impacting his financial standing.
4. David James
After his wife divorced him, James lost everything and was forced to auction off his belongings to make ends meet.
5. Tendai Ndoro
In the most shocking case, Ndoro lost everything to his wife after the divorce because he had registered all properties in her name, leaving him completely financially devastated.
