Features: As the billionaire owner of Chelsea, every move he makes is under the scrutiny of British media. At the time of this book's publication, he was about to set a new world record for the most expensive divorce, shocking the entire UK and even the world. His 39-year-old wife has filed for divorce, putting him in the predicament of losing ￡5.5 billion in assets. This settlement would undoubtedly send shivers down everyone's spine. Simply put, it's a sea of money—many companies, yachts, mansions, and luxury cars waiting to be divided. It is reported that his wife has hired two top divorce lawyers from a renowned British law firm. This firm has previously handled high-profile divorce cases, including one for the ex-wife of former British football star Carl Palmer, and represented actress Jude Law in his divorce case. The cost of these two lawyers is staggering, with fees as high as ￡500 per hour. If his wife wins the divorce case, he will lose half of his assets—i.e., ￡5.5 billion. This would far exceed the current record for dividing ￡1 billion in assets. Such a massive sum is clearly beyond the metaphor of "cutting flesh." This book is a unique financial and motivational work that begins in poverty and ends in glory. The protagonist, Abou, seizes the opportunities presented by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rebirth of Russia, as well as the rise of the Premier League and his own brilliance, igniting the author's passion. With a humble pen, he takes readers into the world of the super-rich Abou.
