When deciding on a life after football, Sol Campbell long pondered how he wanted to make his money.
The English legend had money in the bank after making a fortune from the game, especially when he moved from his fierce rival Spurs to Arsenal. From the bumper's four-year £ 20 million contract to 2001.
So the former centre-back decided that he would invest in his fortune.
Campbell, now 47, made a clever purchase. Over the years, he has built a staggering £ 50m worth of real estate empire.
He also married interior designer Fiona Barat, who owns a luxury furniture company together.
Actually,I want to prove that I'm a manager, butCampbell doesn't have to work in football again.
West London is a heart
His days of play may have been in North London, but when it comes to building a real estate portfolio, he's in the area I'm not so interested.
Over the years, he bought a home in an expensive area of West London, where he could only dream of living in humans.
His outstanding properties are the River Thames and the Albert Bridge.
There are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a drawing room, a library, a dining room and a separate muse home accessible by an underground tunnel.
In 2008, with the help of his mistake, a 7,224-square-foot space with a 45-foot garden and elevator was completely refurbished.
In 2014, Campbell put the property on the market after condemning the mansion tax proposed by the workers. This costs £ 250,000 a year.
He called the worker "the grim reaper of business entrepreneurs and successful people."
Campbell added: "The English house is his castle. This tax will make a fuss!"
Carlyle Mansion
Carlyle Mansion is located on Cheyne Walk in Kensington & Chelsea. It is a block of a luxurious apartment.
Due to the large number of prolific writers who lived there, it was given the nickname "Writer's Block".
Of course, wanting to join that exclusive club, Sol bought a £ 4.25 million apartment reportedly owned by James Bond creator Ian Fleming in 2011.
Located on the 5th floor, it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 private bathroom, shower room, study, laundry, passenger elevator and porter.
To launch, you'll find a luxurious marble kitchen and an interconnected drawing room in front of the building.
Again, upset by what is called a worker's mansion tax, he listed it for £ 6.75 million in 2015.
Fortunately for Sol, the mansion tax never paid off. Chelsea lives far from the market.
History Lessons
Campbell cast spells at Newcastle United from 2010-11 before cutting his boots in his twilight year.
But he lived in the city center and wasn't interested in renting his real estate and counting the number of days before spending time on his career.
Sol purchased a Grade II listed Harrington Hall near Whittington, Northumberland, built in 1768 and refurbished by his wife Barat.
The 60-acre site has 9 bedrooms, 7 ensuites, a gaming room, a private cinema, and 3 cottages on site.
There was a huge portrait of Sol in the house, and it was rumored that there was a game room full of framed soccer shirts.
However, half of the towering centers were put on the market a year after being racistly abused at the nearby Hexham town center.
But when he struggled to find someone to accept it, he had to reduce his asking price from £ 700,000 to £ 5.25 million.
Part of the furniture
Sol owns the FBC, along with his wife Fiona, the daughter of northeastern architect Laurie Barat. .. Traditional British items.
Launched FBC in 2013 and it continues to grow stronger. We've added a showroom to Westminster and joined the Pimlico store.
From about 5,000 pounds of armchairs to Christopher boots lighting and gorgeous artwork, FBC offers everything.
"The business felt like a natural fit after my playing career," Sol toldReal Businesslast year.
"For me, I knew I could use it in a business environment where I could see a lot of transferables, the skills I had when I was playing."
And It cannot be claimed that Sol has exceeded the pitch as he did on the pitch.
