Former Manchester United star Louis Saha has reportedly built up a huge net worth after setting up a successful business on the back of his football career.
During what was a stellar career, Saha played for the likes of Metz, Newcastle United, Fulham, United, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland and Lazio.
In total, the Frenchman scored 159 goals in 492 club appearances across all competitions. He won two Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy during his time at Old Trafford.
Saha called time on his career back in 2013 at the age of 35 and went on to launch his own business, AxisStars.

On their official website, AxisStars is a community that 'facilitates authentic, win-win connections between pro-athletes & entertainers, their peers and trusted partners.'
As reported by MSN earlier in the year, Saha launched the business along with marketeer Kate Hamer, technological executive Patrice Arnera and ex-United marketing personnel Mike Farnan.
The business has since gone from strength to strength and it is reportedly worth a staggering £3.5 billion.
As a result, Saha himself has also seen his net worth grow massively, he is now said to be worth £4.3 billion.

Back in 2014, speaking to CityAM after starting AxisStars, Saha said: "I would have loved to be able to master my job better when I was playing but now Ive retired, I still have a huge role to play sharing my experience with young players.
"I wish I had a platform like this as a player; it would have helped me manage my career and plan for the future a lot better."
In another interview with The Guardian, Saha added: "I still get asked for advice by different people on a daily basis. For instance, my agent called me to say he had a talented French footballer who he wants to bring to England, and asked me for advice on how to create a tailor-made training programme. I put him in touch with people I used to work with.

"This kind of player could join Axis as he can then search for a personal coach in his region. It is a hard process but its so rewarding, because if I can help 100,000 people, its the best thing Ive ever done."
