Who is Charlie Morgan, ball boy kicked by Hazard, worth £40 million?

The ball boy who was kicked by Footballer Eden Hazard in a 2013 match is on The Times’ Young Rich list. Since, 2013 to 2022, Charlie Morgan’s net worth increased to £40 million. The irony of all of this is that Charlie’s riches have nothing to do with football or the incident. So, how did he become so huge, and earn such a fortune? 

Charlie Morgan’s father is one of Swansea City FC’s directors Martin Morgan, and the owner of Morgan Hotels. 17-year-old already had an ‘enviable lifestyle’, and was a ball boy just for fun.  

Although the incident, helped Charlie gain instant social media popularity.

Charlie and Au Vodka

With his friends, Charlie Morgan founded a vodka company called Au Vodka in 2015. The company primarily does business in UK and Europe and aims to expand in the United States. In the Times List, Charlie is placed at number 24th, and the company intends to gain profits as they crack deals with companies in the US.

One of the most popular Vodka brands on the internet currently has sold 2 Million bottles, in the past year. The way has grown exponentially, from selling bottles in the local bars to now selling in almost 40 countries.

Au Vodka can be easily identified with its attractive golden bottle. Obviously, the golden bottle signifies the lavish, premium style of the brand. And, to no one’s surprise, Charlie’s social media reflects his lavish lifestyle.

He definitely would have moved on from the incident with Eden Hazard, but has the world?

Why did Eden Hazard kick Charlie Morgan in 2013?

The ball was played out. According to rules, Chelsea had to take a corner kick. But, a ball boy grabbed the ball and wasn't letting the game resume.

In a moment of desperation, Eden Hazard (then Chelsea’s star player) rushed to resume the game and kicked the 17-year-old in the ribs. The ball boy named Charlie Morgan could be seen in evident agony. 

Later, Hazard was given a red card and left the playing field. The match ended in a goalless draw, with Swansea reaching the finals of the tournament.
