Former AC Milan and Ghana star footballer Kevin Prince Boateng has revealed how he  ended up wasting his money on cars, partying and fake friends as he tried to cope with being famous.

‘For me it was impossible. From one day to another you have so much money you can buy everything,’ Boeteng said . 

‘In two years I spent all my money on cars, watches, boots, nightclubs, restaurants and friends who really were not.’ ‘For a guy like me, who grew up in a poor neighbourhood and had no money, it was dangerous.’ ‘In life it is important to recognise the bad. Thanks to the mistakes, I am what I am.’ 

I was a very impulsive person and maybe I’m smarter now.’
