Achraf Hakimi, a footballer for both the Moroccan national team and Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, made headlines recently when reports of his ex-wife demanding half his fortune in a divorce settlement went viral.
The couple first got together in 2018, when Hakimi was just 19 years old and his now ex-wife Hiba Abouk was 31. After a whirlwind romance of five years, Abouk anticipated that she would get half of Hakimi’s Euro 70 million fortune as the couple approached their separation.
However, Abouk’s situation drastically changed when she discovered that Achraf Hakimi had no personal wealth. The ultimate uno reverse came about when the court informed Abouk that her “millionaire” husband owned none of his assets. All of the football star’s assets are under his mom’s name.
The PSG player received a whopping €1 million per month (over Rs 9 crore). But about 80% of his money was deposited into his mother Fatima’s account. From the looks of it, the 24-year-old appears to not own any property, including cars, houses, jewellery, or even his own clothes.
Achraf Hakimi’s Unusual Arrangement With His Mother
This revelation left Abouk with no right to claim any of Achraf Hakimi’s fortunes, which in actuality were never his in the first place. According to reports, Hakimi shared an unusual arrangement with his mother, wherein he informed her of things he would like to purchase and she would then buy them for him. This allowed the footballer not to register his earnings under his own name.
The situation has erupted online as people speculate about the motivations behind Hakimi’s arrangement with his mother. The divorce proceeding came after an investigation was launched against the player after allegations of him molesting a woman in his matrimonial home flared up.
