Thomas Gravesen became a billionaire after hanging up his boots and became a personality in Las Vegas. He reads on and knows the rest of the story.
Thomas Gravesen signed for him real Madrid in the 2005-2006 season in one of the most controversial transfers in the history of the Spanish team. With a firm step in the Denmark team, and some good performances at Everton, of the English Premier League, Florentino Pérez paid 4 million euros for the pass of “The Ogre”.
A year after his arrival, Gravesen was packing his bags at the ‘White House’ after a scandal-filled journey in which his fight in training with Robinho stands out, as well as a performance on the field that was far from expected. During that time, the Vejle-born was recognized for arriving at some training aboard a nissan micra green with a value of 20 thousand dollars.
This ‘little machine’ from the Japanese manufacturer had a 1.5-liter diesel engine that took it up to 90 horsepower. More than a problem of money, the use of this Nissan by Gravesen came to add to all the eccentricities that surrounded the personality of a footballer loved by his teammates -except for Robinho- and hated by his rivals.
Gravesen hung up his boots in 2008 in the ranks of Everton and moved to Las Vegas, where due to a series of good investments and his skill when playing pokerr made him a celebrity who multiplied his income and that now has a net worth of 120 million dollars.
With a new bank fund, the former Danish player acquired a SLR McLaren whose value is around 500 thousand dollars. Of this jewel of the German manufacturer, only 2,157 copies were manufactured and it has a maximum speed of 334 kilometers per hour. In addition, it is equipped with a compressor-supercharged V8 engine.
