$80,000,000 Rich After Break Up With Shakira, Gerard Pique Dealt Severe Blow as Ambitious Offer Declined

During his soccer career itself, Gerard Pique became an astute businessman. He already owns two smaller soccer teams in Spain. Pique’s venture Kosmos once had a deal with the ITF and he was sure to make millions. Since parting ways with Shakira and retiring from soccer, Pique seemingly fully committed his time to the Kings League. After a successful second season, he has faced a setback which he recently explained.

Without a doubt, the Kings League has garnered millions of eyes from across the globe pushing Pique’s riches to $80 million. The FC Barcelona legend spotted a gap in the soccer market and introduced a unique soccer competition with different stars.

Gerard Pique hits roadblock in upcoming Kings League plans

A few days, Gerard Pique talked about his future plans with the Kings League. The retired defender revealed that he was looking to target a new territory i.e., Latin America. It is the biggest of all audiences and the soccer veteran intended on laying the groundwork as soon as possible. Definitely, it sounds like a good concept but a popular live streamer disagreed with it.

The Spaniard and his best friend Ibai Llanos were looking to get Davoo Xeneize on board for this expansion. While being a popular face in that community, he is also a fan of Boca Juniors. Pique approached this popular streamer with a proposal but something unexpected happened. Xeneize rejected his proposal and the retired defender hit an unexpected roadblock.

The soccer veteran quoted, “I think Davoo jumped into the pool very quickly to say no to the Kings League and I think it is difficult to turn it around. We called him because he is one of the best content creators in Latin America”, as compiled by AS and translated by DeepL. Undoubtedly, this was an unexpected blow. But the retired defender will surely figure out a way considering his business acumen.

While his Kings League’s expansion is on the horizon, the soccer veteran has raked in quite healthy profits in the past. Let’s dive deeper.

Gerard Pique’s success with the Kings League

The first season of this competition was the most memorable. It happened months after breaking up with Shakira. The ‘final four’ took place at Camp Nou. Pique shocking sold out the entire stadium and made a $3 million profit. FC Barcelona’s President Joan Laporta was impressed with the format that this competition followed. The second season commenced in a few months and the games were still live streamed on Twitch.

But not anymore because Pique signed a broadcasting deal with a Spanish channel. Most importantly, he convinced quite a few big names like Ronaldinho, Pirlo, and many more to make an appearance in the league too. With the third season coming up soon, the $80 million rich businessman will surely look for more ways to expand his reach globally and promote the idea.
