CHARLIE MORGAN has made himself a multi-millionaire since his infamous run in with Eden Hazard back in 2013.

The former Swansea ball-boy is now on The Times’ list of the 35 richest people under 35 in the UK.
Morgan was just 17 when he was involved in the altercation with Hazard during Chelsea’s clash with Swansea in the League Cup semi-final.
He was attempting to shield the ball from the Belgian winger in order to waste time for Welsh club, but the now Real Madrid player took issue with it and kicked out in frustration.
Hazard was subsequently sent off for his actions and Chelsea were knocked out the League Cup.
Swansea went on to win the competition after a 5-0 trashing of Bradford City at Wembley.
Morgan is now a world away from throwing the ball on to Swansea’s pitch and it valued at £55million due to his vodka empire.
He set up his company – Au Vodka – alongside his school friend Jackson Quinn and the pair have grown the business exponentially.
The fortune that the 26-year-old has amassed actually leaves him wealthier than Harry Kane according to The Times’ list.
