How Axel Witsel invests his money

How Axel Witsel invests his money

Something interesting is happening in the world of football. More and more football players are starting up businesses during their football careers. They become investors or entrepreneurs, in real estate for example, or the tech industry.


This was frowned upon, not so long ago. Critics would say football players should just be focussed on their development as a player, that they would become distracted if they focussed on stuff outside football. But times have changed. A lot of football players now realise that they should invest the money they earn in different ways, to make sure they stay wealthy long after their careers as football players have ended.


A good example of this is Axel Witsel, the Belgian international and former player of clubs like Benfica and Zenit Saint Petersburg. He’s currently under contract at Borussia Dortmund. Axel Witsel started to invest the money he earned as a footballer in different ways when he was still very young in his career. He mainly focuses on real estate. But he also had some business ventures in aviation, fashion and wine, for example.


We had the opportunity to meet Axel Witsel in Dortmund, to talk about his business ventures.
