The "business empire" founded by ex-Arsenal footballer Lukas Podolski in Germany is now worth around £180 million.
His business includes a branded chain of barbecue and ice cream stands. Podolski also has a music festival, a sports center, and a football tournament attended by famous ex-footballers and industry influencers.
He launched his Ice Cream United dessert brand in 2017, two years after leaving Arsenal.
The business was founded in the Belgian part of Cologne, in the region of the first professional club in Podolsk.
A year later, his first stand, Mangal Döner Kebab, opened in the city and now has around 30 branches across Germany.
Podolski has increased his fortune to 177.5 million pounds thanks to his business skills.
