Samuel Eto’o is the highest-paid soccer player in the world, as Russian soccer club FC Anzhi Makhachkala pays him an estimated 20.5 million Euros ($28.8 million) annually to score goals.
On top of that, Anzhi spends $80,000 each month to house the Cameroonian striker in a swanky apartment in Moscow.
Eto’o recently opened his doors to French TV channel M6, giving viewers a look at his home away from home.
The four-story unit has five bedrooms, a sauna, a swimming pool, an outdoor deck with sick views of Moscow and an elevator. Did we mention that it has four floors?
Something the futuristic-looking place lacks, however, is a decorators’ touch. This may be nit-picking, but there didn’t seem to be any art on the walls. Nor was there antique-looking furniture, as one might expect a 21st century African king living in Moscow to have.
But some “different strokes for different folks,” the adage goes. Besides, it’s better than my place.
