Luis Figo’s Post-Football Empire: From Luxury Fashion to Mining Ventures

Luis Figo has seamlessly transitioned from football stardom to business success, proving that his talents extend far beyond the pitch. The 52-year-old Portuguese legend, who won the Ballon d’Or and Champions League, has built a diverse investment portfolio that includes fashion, food, and mining.

In 2022, the former Real Madrid star became a shareholder in Elgorriago Brand, Spain’s first chocolate and biscuit company, and also launched the 'Luis Figo' fashion label, a high-end clothing brand. Beyond this, he has secured endorsement deals with Uber Eats, EA Sports, and Nike while maintaining a key role in football as a presidential adviser to UEFA chief Aleksander Čeferin.

Figo has also made major real estate investments and was a key investor in a mining company operating in Guinea and Senegal. His business moves have significantly bolstered his wealth, with his net worth estimated to be between £16-40 million.

Despite his financial success, Figo remains passionate about working and entrepreneurship. Speaking on ‘La Revuelta,’ he said, “Life is very boring without working. If you like to produce, be an entrepreneur, and create jobs, then that’s what I love doing.”

From football legend to business mogul, Luis Figo continues to make an impact worldwide.
