Former England national team Reese Vabarra has become a fashion designer and has a staggering fortune. Vabarra decided to quit football in 2017 at the age of 25 to focus on his Maniere De Voir brand, which has been a huge success ever since. His net worth rose to £26 million, placing him at number 35 on the Sunday Times list of richest young people. Vabarra started his career at Manchester City in 2011 but was later loaned out to several teams and remained in the world of football until 2017 when he played for Bolton Wanderers. Vabarra explained his decision: “I asked myself, ‘Where can I increase my potential to become great?’ , said Lewis (Morgan, co-founder of the brand) that something needs to be done in fashion, and I did so.
