Charlie Morgan, the former Swansea City ball boy famously kicked by then-Chelsea player Eden Hazard, has built a multimillion-pound empire. Now, he is moving his hugely successful vodka business into an entirely gold-themed office, reports The Sun.

Morgan founded his vodka brand, Au Vodka, in 2015, and the business has since skyrocketed in value to an estimated £150 million. His personal wealth is now believed to be around £55 million.
He has now decided to establish the company’s headquarters in his hometown of Swansea, with the luxurious office interior designed in black and gold.
Back in 2013, Chelsea faced Swansea in the League Cup, and with the Blues trailing, Morgan—then a ball boy—deliberately slowed down play by delaying the return of the ball. Frustrated, Hazard lashed out and kicked him, leading to the Belgian’s red card as Chelsea went on to lose the match.
However, the two later reconciled, and in 2024, Hazard and Morgan met up in a friendly setting—sharing a drink from Morgan’s own vodka brand.
