Zlatan Ibrahimovic GOD Lifestyle Just Got Even...

No other footballer typifies self-confidence and  a larger-than-life ego than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  

But what is even more interesting is his  life off the pitch. From growing up in a  

broken home to endless fights, legal troubles, a  strange relationship, and ridiculously expensive  

properties - This is the CONTROVERSIAL and  COLORFUL lifestyle of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  

Mr. Sefik Ibrahimovic, a Bosnian immigrant,  and his Croatian wife, Jurka Gravic, welcomed  

Zlatan into the world on October 3rd, 1981, in  Malmo, Sweden. The family lacked necessities  

and lived in abject poverty. Even worse, Zlatan's  parents split up when he was just two years old.  

Constant fights, child neglect, and abuse; it was  a BROKEN home. Zlatan lived with his mother who  

remarried and was often beaten up. This was the  beginning of a difficult childhood for the Swede,  

who would later refer to fatherlessness as the  most harmful demographic trend in his story. At 9,  

he was sent to live with his father but since  they had no money, Zlatan became a ‘petty thief’,  

often stealing bikes and sweets from  shops in the neighborhood of Rosengard.  

Even at school, he was a bully and was often  violent to the other kids. Fortunately for the  

Swede, he first began playing football when  he received a set of boots for his birthday  

at 6. He and his friends often tried  outrageous tricks, shots, and flicks  

on an old gravel pitch. But by the time he was  15, he still preferred to work on the docks of  

Malmo rather than playing football but luckily,  his coach convinced him to choose football.  

In 1996 at the age of 15, Zlatan began playing  for Malmo FF and he looked up to the Brazilian  

striker Ronaldo as his idol. 3 years later,  he was called up to the senior team and spent  

the next 3 years at the club before attracting  the attention of Ajax who signed him for €8.7  

million. In his 4 seasons with the Eredivisie  side, Zlatan scored 48 goals in 110 appearances  

and helped the club to 2 league titles. He started the 2004-2005 season at Juventus after  

moving to the Italian side in a €16 million deal.  He left for Inter Milan 2 seasons later after Juve  

were involved in a match-fixing scandal. He had 3  successful seasons at Inter, winning 3 consecutive  

league titles and scoring a total of 66 goals  before being snatched by Barcelona. However,  

he didn’t really impose himself at the club due  to clashes with Guardiola. After just one season,  

he moved to AC Milan where he rediscovered  his lethal goalscoring powers and helped the  

club to win the Serie A. He moved to PSG in 2012  and became one of the highest paid footballers  

in the world. He was most prolific at the French  club, scoring an outrageous 156 goals in just 180  

appearances over 4 seasons. After winning a dozen  trophies, he signed as a free agent for Manchester  

United and helped them to win the Europa  league and League cup in his first season.  

Affected by injuries and external factors,  he mutually agreed to terminate his contract  

at Man United and moved to LA Galaxy where he  spent 2 seasons before returning to Europe and  

helping AC Milan to their first league title  in 11 years. For Sweden, Zlatan remains the  

country’s top scorer with 62 goals in twice as  many appearances since making his debut in 2001.  

In a career spanning over two decades, and  already 41, Ibrahimovic has carved his name  

into the history books of the beautiful game  with his exceptional skill, bold personality,  

and longevity with over 570 goals for  club and country and scores of trophies  

and individual awards but now that we’ve  seen how intriguing his career has been,  

let’s see what goes on off the pitch. Personal life/relationship  

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his long-time partner,  Helena Seger first met in 2002 when their cars  

collided in a parking lot. Ibrahimovic, who  was driving a Ferrari, double-parked next to  

Seger's car, and she was not pleased, yelling  at him to move. However, it was love at first  

sight for the Swede who fell in love with  her blue eyes and set out to win the heart  

of the former Swedish model and businesswoman. The couple who have been together for over 20  

years, welcomed their first child, Maximiliano  in 2006 before welcoming the second boy,  

Vincent in 2008. Despite being together for so  long, Zlatan and Helena are somehow not married.  

Despite being 41 years old, the 6-foot-5  Zlatan maintains a high fitness level by  

practicing taekwondo and following a strict  diet. Zlatan's favorite meal is Pasta Falukorv,  

but he has excluded junk food and frozen  foods from his diet to maintain a healthy  

body weight close to a hundred kilograms. The Swede is also active on social media,  

with over 58 million followers on Instagram. He  frequently posts updates about his personal life  

and gives insights into his training regimen. Zlatan is also popular with tattoos and he has  

adorned his body with many of them. Some  of the most prominent ones include "the  

Ibrahimovic code," which consists of numbers on  his right wrist and the names of his two sons  

on his right arm. His left wrist bears two playing  cards, one of which features the letter 'H' inside  

the ace of hearts, paying homage to his partner,  Helena Seger. On the same wrist, you can also find  

the birthdates of his mother and sister. Let’s now dive into the luxurious  

properties that Ibrahimovic owns. Zlatan is known for his extravagant  

lifestyle. He has homes in some of the world's  most glamorous cities such as Los Angeles,  

Paris, Manchester, and Milan, and a summer  retreat in Malmo. During his move from PSG  

to Manchester United, he once rented a house in  England with a price tag of £16,500 per week.  

What about his garage? Zlatan's taste for the  finer things in life is also on full display.  

The estimated worth of his car collection is a  staggering $3 million. As an ambassador for Volvo,  

he owns an XC90 model. For his 40th birthday,  he got himself a Ferrari Sf90 Stradale, while  

for his 38th birthday, he bought a rare Ferrari  Monza SP2. He also named his Lamborghini Urus  

the "Zlatmobile," He owns a Porsche Spyder  and a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.  

The 41-year-old is undoubtedly one of  the world's wealthiest footballers,  

with an estimated net worth of approximately  $200 million. The Swedish superstar's annual  

salary is reported to be $7.2 million, which is  an impressive amount considering his age. With a  

career of over two decades, Zlatan has accumulated  enough wealth that most people can only dream of.  

It's not just his salary contributing to his vast  wealth. Ibrahimovic is also involved in several  

lucrative sponsorship deals. For instance, he is  an ambassador for the Swedish carmaker Volvo and  

the tech giant Samsung. Additionally, he endorses  the popular gambling app, Bethard and represents  

a chewing gum brand called "Mind the Gum."  He is also a brand ambassador to EA Sports.  

To his credit, he gives back to society. One of his noteworthy charitable gestures  

was donating $50,000 to support a team of  intellectually disabled players from Sweden  

who qualified for the INAS World Football  Championships in Brazil. The team needed  

to raise a total of $51,000 to cover their  expenses, and they relied on the generosity  

of Swedish soccer players, who donated jerseys and  shoes that could be auctioned off. Nevertheless,  

Zlatan's contribution stood out as he  presented the most significant amount.  

Moreover, Zlatan demonstrated his charitable  character by launching a fundraiser worth  

$1.1 million to aid Italy's fight during  the pandemic. He is involved in numerous  

philanthropic acts but that doesn’t  mean that he doesn’t get into trouble.  

Zlatan has faced various controversies throughout  his career, often putting him at odds with fellow  

players, coaches, and fans. From headbutting  teammates to violent threats and insults against  

Van der Vaart, Pep Guardiola, the Swede has done  it all. He once punched a defender in the stomach,  

slapped another for stepping on his foot, kicked  Antonio Cassano in the head, kicked Saint Etienne  

goalkeeper in the chest, made sexist remarks  at an award ceremony, showed disloyalty to his  

former club Malmo, who built a statue in his  honor, by investing in arch-rivals Hammarby.  

He was also fined €50,000 for breaking  disciplinary regulations related to his interests  

in the sport betting company, Bethard. Despite his  successes on the field, these controversies have  

cast a shadow over Ibrahimovic's reputation  and character, leaving many to question his  

judgment and values. But there are some things  you probably didn’t know about the Swede.  

Ibrahimovic was so loved in France that a local  café introduced a gigantic burger called "Le  

Zlatan" in his honor. The word, Zlatan, has  been officially added to the Swedish national  

dictionary; it refers to dominating or executing  something with exceptional talent. But perhaps,  

the biggest surprise is that his partner,  Helena, is 11 years older than him.
