Olivier Giroud, among the top players in France’s football team, is expected to play at the 2024 Paris Olympics – where winning the gold would be especially sentimental for the team that brought home the Fifa World Cup in 2018.
Giroud’s journey in professional football started early, when he represented his country in the under-15 and under-17 divisions in Grenoble city’s youth academy. He later joined flagship teams such as Chelsea and Arsenal as a striker and led both to championship wins. In 2021, Giroud reportedly received €2 million (US$2.18 million) in bonuses and fees when he signed on to play for Serie A club AC Milan, per Sky Sports.
With a lucrative contract and fame comes attention from brands, of course. Giroud has modelled for fashion houses including Hugo Boss, Diesel fragrances and Puma – he has been working with the latter since 2009.
While Giroud shares his success with his wife and four children, he doesn’t appear opposed to treating himself to a bit of bling from time to time.
The footballer has been spotted wearing several luxury timepieces, ranging from classic Rolexes to a Richard Mille watch with an over-the-top price tag.
