Ghanaian Court Orders Auction Of Michael Essien’s Properties by Morbeta11(m): 4:39am On Jun 19
Two mansions belonging to former Chelsea and Ghana midfielder Michael Essien are reportedly set for auction following a court order from the Accra High Court.

The sale was ordered by the Deputy Sheriff of the High Court (Commercial Division) on June 12, 2024, following a recent court ruling against the former midfielder.

The Daily Guide reports that the properties are located at Stephen Quarshie Crescent, East Legon, House Number 9 and House Number 204/205, Trassaco (Phase 2), Adjiringano, all in Accra.

The report also mentioned that one of the properties is valued between $20 million and $30 million.

Essien’s current financial troubles are due to large loans he took from different banks and financial institutions in Ghana, according to Africa Soccer.

During his playing days, 41-year-old Essien played for top clubs such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Lyon.

Somebody destined for poverty, even football wealth will not rescue him, how will somebody, who played for top clubs and earned big money at a time when footballers are earning massively still borrow unreasonably to the extent that he couldn't repay the loans

betting. Sportbet gave him some money as their ambassador. Unfortunately, the money was given to him in his sportbet account. The guy began to get with it. The money was exhausted. Then he began to take loans to bet.
Betting is evil

He said it was a good financial decision. He bought the house on a mortage for the wife which he stopped paying for because of recent high increase in the cost. He supported the decision to sell the house and get his share of the sales back to buy another property in a cheaper location.

If the two buildings in Accra are successfully auctioned off to enable the banks recover the money loaned to him including the interests, then whatever amount is left after the auctions can be used to jump-start his life again. This is how a Nigerian multimillionaire of Yoruba descent that I know was able to bounce back after he couldn't pay back his loans to the bank due to some unforeseen investment headwinds. The bank simply auctioned the big house he used as a collateral and to his surprise, the value of the property had appreciated beyond what it was before he got the loans. That was how he got the excess money after the sale of the big house and that money jump-started him to becoming a bigger and better multimillionaire again.


Due diligence is KEY before going into any business venture. Seek guidance always and don't try to show off by going into any fanciful investments YOU are NOT familiar with. I wish Michael Essien well after this brain reset he would have experienced.

This man fraternized with Flamini, Saha and Lebouf! People that used their football salaries to become big billionaires and still ended broke from debts?? In the end, water will always find its level. If you like rob & guy the United States treasury dept, if you don’t have the sense to grow wealth you will grow poor. cool
