Thomas Gravesen Is Reportedly Worth £100 Million And His Life Sounds Absolutely Insane

Thomas Gravesen is living a very different life after retiring from the game.

He was also spotted driving around in a Mercedes SLR McLaren, worth around $500,000.

The Dane says he lived in Las Vegas for eight years and enjoyed his time in America, but he has now returned to Denmark.

So how did he earn his fortune? Gravesen is said to have become 'engrossed' in an electric high-rollers game, where he was involved in a 'heads-up' match with another player.

On that night, the story goes that the former Real Madrid man lost $54 million in one session but he eventually won that money back...and more.

"I can confirm he has made £80m but it did not come easy." said user TarantulaGargantu. on poker forum Two Plus Two.

"I was there in one of the sessions where he was playing some guy heads-up and lost £54m in one night. Can't say who it was against, though."

Back in 2018, James McFadden, who played with Gravesen during his time at Everton, shared some incredible memories of the midfielder - some of which involve paintball guns and fireworks.

"He was just a different kind of guy...somebody that in a group, well, you'd try and avoid him.

"He started just shooting people. He brought fireworks in one day. The physio's room was at the side of one of the pitches [and] the physio was one of the fittest guys at the club.

"He was running with the injured players when Tommy comes out with a big rocket and fires it right at him."
