From rich to rich stories...

We heard too many rag-to-rich stories, but we seldomly heard stories of playrs from the upper class who succeeded in football.

I only know Kaka has parents who are teachers. He was not rich, but he was not the classic "City of Gold" story.

Gianluca Vialli's father was a rich industrialist and he lived in a 60 room mansion as a kid.

Andrea Pirlo's father was a rich steel industrialist and he could've easily taken over the business but he decided to become a footballer.

I heard that he earned the respect from di Canio because he was a rich kid, but still worked his arse off as if he got nothing.
