“Elon Musk offered to buy my Ballon d’Or for $ 1 billion, but I rejected the offer,” George Weah.
“My Ballon d’Or isn’t just my biggest football achievement but the only Ballon d’Or in Africa. Even if the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, comes to me and offers more than $ 1 billion for my Ballon d’Or, I’ll tell him No! I’ve told my children never to sell my Ballon d’Or even if they go broke.
Some things are worth more than silver and gold, and my Ballon d’Or is one of those things, not just for me but for Africa. I worked very hard for my Ballon d’Or and I want generations upon generations to see it.”
The Liberian football legend, George Weah who is the only African player to ever win a Ballon d’Or says his family owes it as a responsibility to guard his Ballon d’Or jealousy.
A good name and legacy is worth more than Silver and Gold.
