Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have made a fan a millionaire!! There are different ways that a football fan can make money. Some prefer blogging, other vlogging and some even Audio Podcasts. However, there is a breed of fans that just choose something really different. And this is about a fan who has earned millions already. However, some may not agree to the way that he has done so.
Many fans have a habit of going to games. They meet their idols and get a lot of merchandise signed. But not all go on to sell this merchandise. Despite that, this fan has used the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi brand to become a millionaire.
How Cristiano Ronaldo And Lionel Messi Have Helped A Football Fan Become A Millionaire!!?
There are a variety of football fans out there. Many love CR7 and LM10. They go to games and collect a lot of memorabilia. But, not all of them are keepers. Some give them away. While others sell what they want to for monetary benefits. Such is the case with Peter Johnson.
Johnson started a business called the Firma Stella. The idea was to offer fans the opportunity to purchase a wide range of different memorabilia from sports stars. And he has been doing this consistently.
The items could be anything. It could be pictures to signed shirts to other artefacts. And they sell like anything. His business has grown so much that the company has now hired 12 people. And the owner has ascended to a millionaire’s status with time. It’s not as easy as it sounds. But Peter Johnson has done it!!
And yes, though the main merchandise that they started off with was of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the firm now targets merchandise from across the globe. Business has really picked up and things are looking good for Johnson and co.
From football, Johnson has gone on to various other collectables from different sports. An individual that started off with a £10k debt is now a millionaire. You wouldn’t believe it but it has been done!!
What Did Peter Johnson Say In A Recent Interview With The Daily Mail!?
Impossible is just a word, when you put your mind to something. And in a recent interview, Johnson said, “I loved the buzz of selling them for a lot of money. Started travelling around the world to chase stuff. Went to the F1 in Asia, the Rugby World Cup in Japan, Manchester City pre-season tours.”
“It was then I decided, ‘Let me make an empire!!’ Was in £10,000 debt… Now am a millionaire. All with four and a half years of work.”
Well, the story is brilliant in itself and is inspiring. Though not all may agree to this method, but at the end of the day, money talks.
There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have done so much for the fans. But this fan has benefitted from their fame in other ways. And the world can learn from him.
Being passionate about SPORTS and a GAME in particular is great. But what it gives back to you, also matters. Hats off to Peter Johnson and his brilliant mind!! Cheers!!
