Time never goes the same for everyone! This was the case with a ball boy named Charlie Morgan, who was recently in news after making a fortune of a whopping $43 million. However, besides being known for making a huge amount of money, he is also popular for another reason. He worked as a ballboy in the famous football club Swansea. Charlie Morgan was continuously featured in The Times’ Young Rich list from 2013 to 2022. Once during a league cup match, a memorable incident happened when he was kicked by a Chelsea star.

But it did not stop him from being successful, as reports claim that his wealth is now over 40 million Pounds or $43 million. Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather has reportedly helped him a lot in his success. Mayweather Jr reportedly made $10 million a year just from sponsorships alone. The question that arises here is how an American boxing star can help a European football club ball boy to be so rich.

Charlie Morgan was a ball boy for Swansea football club. In 2013, during a league match between Chelsea and Swansea, no one even thought that such a bizarre incident could happen. All of a sudden, Chelsea forward Eden Hazard kicked the ball boy because he was holding the ball to ‘help’ Swansea. It was intense. It gave the forward a red card for that nasty event.

Many people do not know that Charlie Morgan comes from a wealthy family, and his father, Martin Morgan owns the Morgan hotels and director of Swansea City. Charlie, now 27, is also a successful businessman and is the founder of the premium alcohol brand ‘Au Vodka’. But what is Mayweather’s role in his success?

After successfully launching his company, ‘Au Vodka’ with Charlie’s school-time friend, Jackson, they have worked very hard to establish the brand as a premium alcohol brand. On the other hand, Floyd Mayweather was also impressed by its taste that he wished to work with the brand.

The founders said, “We said yeah, ok sure, and Floyd said he would post a photo on Instagram as long as we included him when we do something big in America.” As per Walesonline, Morgan further stated, “Back years ago we were asking ourselves, who would be the best ambassador we could have holding the bottle and I think our answer was Floyd, so it’s amazing how it has manifested itself.”
