CHARLIE MORGAN looked destined to be forever known as the ball boy kicked by Eden Hazard.

From ball boy to multi-millionaire

As a 17-year-old back in 2013, Charlie Morgan made headlines when he was kicked by former Chelsea star Eden Hazard. But now, at the age of 26, he has built a £40 million empire.

Au Vodka: Charlie's thriving business

In 2016, Charlie Morgan co-founded a vodka company called Au Vodka with his school friend Jackson Quinn. The business steadily grew, but it really took off in December 2019 when they sold 10,000 bottles of black grape vodka in just one month. Today, Au Vodka is valued at £40 million.

Endorsements from celebrities

Charlie Morgan's vodka brand has gained popularity among celebrities. Former footballer Ronaldinho, club owner Wayne Lineker, and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather have all been pictured endorsing the product. In fact, Mayweather himself reached out to the business.

The journey to success

Au Vodka now produces 35,000 bottles per day, and the brand continues to grow. Although there were a few flavors that didn't work out, it hasn't stopped Charlie Morgan from building his empire. With a net worth of £40 million, he may not be as wealthy as Hazard, but he has certainly made a name for himself.

What's next for Hazard?

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard, who is estimated to have an £80 million fortune, recently retired from professional football following his release from Real Madrid in October.
