Which footballer has more money than Ronaldo?

Answer: Faiq Bolkiah
When you think of the world's richest footballers your thoughts immediately deflect to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo,Lionel Messi and Neymar - not a 19-year-old kid who plays in Leicester City's reserves.
Faiq Bolkiah, nephew of the Sultan of Brunei (Hassanal Bolkiah) - who is worth an estimated $20billion.
Faiq Bolkiah is a Leicester City player.
The winger has yet to make a first team appearance. Bolkiah has represented Brunei at international level.
Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah.
To give you an idea of Bolkiah's wealth you need only look at his father, Jefri.
The Sultan of Brunei's brother has reportedly splashed out roughly £10bn in 15 years as head of the Brunei Investment agency.
And, at one point, Jefri was apparently spending a staggering £35m a month on cars, watches and white gold pens.
The Leciester winger's father was also believed to have owned as many as 2,300 cars - including Bentleys, Ferraris and Rolls-Royces.
But more impressively, when Jefri celebrated his 50th birthday, he flew over Michael Jackson to perform a private concert.
As well as building an entire stadium for the event, he paid the King of Pop £12.5 million.

Not to undermine any of the wonderful players that Barcelona had over the century, Johan Cruyff and Lionel Messiah do deserve special mention. Johan Cruyff was not just an Ajax, Barcelona and Holland legend. He was a football legend. But plenty of famous footballers have retired with bulging trophy cabinets. Cruyff was different. As both a player and a manager, Cruyff was an innovator, often tearing up the rulebook and coming up with new, ground-breaking ways of approaching the game. Forget tiki-taka. Long before Barcelona and Spain's trademark tactic, there was the Ajax and Holland team of the 1970s and their unique system of "total football". Led by Cruyff, their style was based around quick passing, quick movement and constant rotation of position. Sound familiar? Cruyff was basically Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta rolled into one… forty years ago. He was the first player to win three ballon d'or. Yeah, Messi has five. But long before he was eve...

How would it be if Zlatan Ibrahimovic was still in PSG?

If Zlatan was still at PSG, there was a huge possibility that PSG would not have gone for Mbappe or would have offloaded some other player (maybe Cavani or Di Maria). However, since the question does not explicitly mention anything, I will assume that the question wants the answer with respect to this lineup - Neymar, Mbappe, Zlatan , Cavani, Draxler, Di Maria. Obviously all of them cannot be accommodated in the same starting 11 at a time. Zlatan is ageing. So, I cannot see him starting for all 36 Ligue 1 games or all the UCL games. If Zlatan was still there, he, Cavani and Mbappe would have shared the two forward spots among themselves with all 3 being there in extreme situations when the team desperately needs goals. That would have made the lineup a nightmare for opposition defenders as if their current attack is not scary enough. Though it is highly unlikely that Mbappe could have come to PSG in such a situation as the starting spot would not have been so much for grant...
