While Kylian Mbappé’s dazzling footwork dominates the pitch, a former Arsenal player has quietly amassed a fortune dwarfing the young superstar. Mathieu Flamini, a midfielder who donned the Gunners’ colors twice in his career, has become a billionaire thanks to a brilliant post-football move.
Flamini, now 40, surprised many when he retired from football in 2019. But his success story wasn’t over. He co-founded a company called GF Biochemicals, which has become a game-changer in the fight against climate change.
GF Biochemicals achieved a breakthrough by developing a method to mass-produce levulinic acid. This innovative substance is a sustainable alternative to oil and has a wide range of applications. Flamini’s company has not only made him and his partner incredibly wealthy, but it’s also contributing significantly to a greener future.
Flamini’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond just making money. He emphasizes the environmental impact of GF Biochemicals, stating, “We’re tackling chemical pollution. This is just the first step in a larger journey to develop partnerships with major producers, pushing them towards sustainable solutions.”
So, while Mbapp̩ continues to rack up goals on the field, Flamini is making a different kind of impact Рone that could benefit the planet for generations to come.
