>Footballer Achraf Hakimi's wife filed for divorce and demanded half of his property.
>She was however informed by court that her "Millionaire' husband owns nothing as all his property is registered under his mother's names.
>Hakimi receives €1 Million from PSG monthly but 80% of this is deposited in his mother Mrs. Fatima's account.
>He has no property, cars, houses, jewelry or even clothes in his name.
Anytime, he wants anything, he asks his mother who buys it for him.
A family friend worked for a major international bank - they did the anti-fraud calls when a card had clearly been skimmed or had been used out of the usual spending pattern. They were assigned to the private banking arm, generally reserved for the rich, famous, or both.
Nine times out of ten, if they called a footballer, they'd end up being put on to their mother who handled the finances.
Smart move, I suppose. If I was a word-class sportsman raking in six figures when I was younger, I absolutely would have pissed it up the wall.
Just look at Michael Jordan. His mother negotiated the everliving crap out of everyone who wanted to be associated with him, and now the dude's still raking in absolutely obscene amounts of money every year without doing absolutely anything at all.
Although I think this greentext's equivalent wouldn't be possible to the same effect in the USA because MJ doesn't qualify as a dependent so the money that he officially made going to his mother would trigger the Gift Tax essentially taxing his income multiple times.
Not only that, she can just get his money from his mom or directly garnished from his pay. If he's hiding assets to dodge paying support, he's a piece of shit
It depends on a lot actually. If a couple decides that one will be stay at home, and then later split up, since being a stay at home parent doesn't get you a tax receipt, you're fucked. So now you're out on your own with a giant resume gap and a lot of time of missed opportunities and sacrifices, while your ex spouse jets off with all the family income and advancement. Would you as the stay at home dad think that's fair? Cause I think that parent is owed a damn lot. I say this as the one who brings home all the money in my household, my stay at home spouse does more and is more valuable to this family than I ever hope to be, she's just straight up better than me, so if we ever split, damn right I'll take care of her and feel she's entitled to that, especially as the mother to my children, it's my duty to make sure she's ok even without me.
p.s: this footballer's wife divorced him after he was caught in Paris with sexually abusing an underage girl
Suppose you put your career on hold to help put your spouse through school. They'll be earning 4 times what you are once they're out of grad school, so you have turned down promotions and the like to keep the 2 of you as well as your kid afloat and catered to their schedule and needs while they go through this.
Now your spouse wants to split with you once they're out of school. You'd hitched your wagon to them and hadn't planned for a future where you wouldn't be moving forward as a unit.
Because that's the position I'm in now. Dammed fucking right I feel entitled to some sort of support given promises and vows were made.
Gold diggers exist, sure... but get some life experience before some bullshit hot take about something you have zero experience with
I don’t understand the downvotes, you’re absolutely right. It’s unfair to the person with the greater amount of resources, and I don’t understand why you should pay to uphold someone’s lifestyle unless they’re responsible for your child in some way.
If he's been doing this for all his life, and if the amount has been taxed appropriately, the whole thing becomes murky - he isn't hiding assets in that case, just following habits. But then I guess she could argue that it is his money anyways, regardless of it being in his mothers account.
It's a cultural thing and isn't always good. Many people in Morocco value their mother over even their own wife, and will neglect the needs of their wife to benefit their mother. Everyone from poor people to professional athletes does it.
Looks like it's probably fake, the only source of this claim is some tweet from a random account. I couldn't find anything relevant after last spring, but I suppose the divorce is still not judged. At the time she claimed she was confident she would get her fair share.
In France, doing this at this scale without paying any taxes would probably be very illegal.
Probably some kind of trust fund he contributes to but his mom is the owner of said trust fund. He will get access of it after his mom dies. People usually start those to avoid inheritance taxes.
No. It's just fake, this isn't how these things work. You need to be very naive to think just moving money one step is how you avoid these things. It's not.
uh? what does that mean? maybe that's an ultrarich thing when your clothes are actually worth some amount? do people actually have some way of legal ownership of clothes other than 'yeah I paid for them, no I don't have any receipts but they are inside my house and nobody will claim otherwise therefore they are mine'?
It's an expression used to mean someone is so broke, they figuratively don't even have clothes to put on, I believe - which this footballer isn't, but compared to his real wealth, his official wealth is pennies.
The story was even better than this. In the interest of fairness, he was entitled to half of her stuff, which wasn't a small amount given that she was a famous model.
Divorce rates for footballers are very high, especially in the first year after retirement, which is something stupid like 50-60%. There are also some crazy stories where wives let their husbands cheat and fuck around all day because they know that the second he retires they'll get paid.
