Golf courses and business in Wales. The luxury life of Gareth Bale

Five-time Champions League winner, three-time world champion at club level and Spanish champion, as well as one of golf's most famous golfers. It's all about Gareth Bale, who after an outstanding career announced the end of his career in January 2023.

The Welsh winger is known not only for houses and cars, but also for realising business ideas that bring him income even after retiring from football.

The notorious Elevens Bar, which is located in Cardiff, was just opened in May 2017 by Bale and Brains Brewery, and in May 2021 the Welshman became the sole owner of the establishment. The pub is a Mecca for football fans, as it is decorated with various artefacts and the TVs for watching matches can't even be counted.

In 2022, the former Wales captain also opened Par 59, a place that combines a restaurant, bar and miniature golf course. The first venue of its kind opened in March that year in Cardiff, with the chain expanding to Bristol some more time later.

In December 2022 it was announced that the Cardiff establishment would be expanded, with a new bar and upstairs games room called Shuffles opening in November 2023.

Bale remains a big brand himself: he recently starred in an advertising campaign for Heineken non-alcoholic beer. He has also starred in ad campaigns for PlayStation and BMW.

With his career over, the Welshman is free to live a life of leisure, dividing his time between America, London and Wales, as well as various holiday destinations.

His £4 million mansion in the Vale of Glamorgan was approved for expansion a few years ago. It currently has six bedrooms, a dressing room, a study and a three-hole golf course in the garden.

The Welshman's love of golf is obviously well known and this mini course includes replicas of three of the most famous holes in the world - the 17th at Sawgrass, the 'postage stamp' 8th at Royal Troon and the 12th at Augusta National.

After moving from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013, Bale and his lover moved into a 1,500 square metre luxury home in Madrid's prestigious La Finca district. They first rented the mansion for 12,000 euros a month and then bought it for 7 million euros. Previously lived here former Real Madrid player Kaka.

In Spain, Bale also did not forget about his passion. The Welshman was spotted playing on golf courses such as the exclusive Real Club de Valderrama in San Roque, near the city of Cadiz.

In addition to real estate and business, the Welshman has a decent fleet of cars, which, although only four cars, but what a fleet!

Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Audi Q7 and the cherry on the cake - an elite supercar Lamborghini Huracán, which the site Vipfortunes estimated at 275 thousand dollars.

In short, it can be noted that Bale liked to live large and during performances at a high level, and after the end of his career, you can not deny yourself anything, as well as playing golf in his own estate, and scattering the streets of cities on elite cars.
