FOOTBALL Ex-Arsenal midfielder earning 30 times more than Cristiano Ronaldo hints at buying club in future
The Frenchman has hinted that he could attempt to buy the club in the future after seeing his company, GF Biochemicals, become a hit.
And it was so lucrative that the England Under-19 defender's first tax bill was into six figures. It's also estimated his map was used 250 million times in one week.
And as the Londoner gets a royalty fee every time it's played, that meant his nightly earnings peaked at 10,000 to 15,000 dollars (Ksh 1.5-2.3 million ).
In a video posted by 101GreatGoals, linking to UnderArmour, Walters said: "Obviously we weren't allowed to leave our homes so I picked up a different hobby where everyone loves the game.
"I think as a teenage boy I was playing Fortnite with my friends and they were talking to me about how they just wanted to play this game mode and how it hadn't been made before.
"So I just decided, you know, I'll make something for them to play."
