Spanish fans remember with devotion Iniesta’s goal with which Spain won its first World Cupalthough they also remember with rage the karate kick that Nigel De Jong gave to Xabi Alonso. A reckless and unprecedented action that became the calling card of this broom footballer, who claimed some more victims.
Aside from this fact, De Jong enjoyed an enviable career after defending the colors of well-known European clubs, City o Milan, among others, and for having been a key part of the Dutch team, with which he has played 81 games and two World Cup events. He put an end to his career in Al-Shahaniya of the Qatar league, and since his football goodbye he has focused on one of his big businesses.
His rise to the elite gave him an economic wealth that increased over the years with million-dollar contracts. I fueled it in the shadows thanks to a high-end car company, Continental Cars., which opened its doors in 2007 when he was a Hamburg footballer. His grandfather, who was CEO of Ford, taught him the foundations and vision to be a good entrepreneur, and this has been demonstrated. The success of this company has allowed the former soccer player to continue generating million-dollar income.
The importance of financial education in football
The company run by De Jong has a great reputation thanks to its extensive client base, among which are footballers and celebrities looking for the best vehicles on the market. Ferrari, Mercedes, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentleys o Porsche These are some of the brands that adorn the catalog of this luxury car dealership. The prices, as expected, do not fit any pocket, although there are cheaper options, although with fewer features.
As a result of this successful business, The former Dutch international has reiterated in interviews that footballers focus their efforts on having a good financial education to manage their exorbitant savings.. In our industry it is very tempting to live in the now, buy expensive cars and lead a flashy lifestyle (…) God gave me the talent and strength to become a footballer, which gave me the financial resources and empowerment to improve in other areas (…) I think it is very important for footballers to be smart with what they do with their salaries, because it can become an investment or disappear before you realize it.
