Michael Olise Endorsements
Michael Olise has been one of the stars of the World Cup with five assists in seven matches. But he has no official brand or boot sponsorship deals, a decision that means he is forgoing millions of pounds a year in endorsement income.
Experts say it is very rare for a player of his calibre not to have brand partnerships. A sports marketing expert said he cannot think of any top international at the World Cup and a top club player who does not have a brand deal. He said Olise clearly values performance above anything else in a world where everyone appears to have a price. Another expert said Olise may not want the exposure or commercial adulation, or he wants to remain detached and focus on his playing career.
Olise is potentially forgoing multiple millions per annum. Experts said the exact numbers are difficult to say but it is certain to be in the seven figures.
As he has no official boot sponsorship deal, he is free to choose his footwear. He typically matches his boots to the colour of his kit. His preferred model is the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 3, first released in 2017. He has worn customised boots at the World Cup, including a pair designed by an artist known as Matty Boy.
Olise has kept his options open by not aligning with a major brand. His former coaches said he is not driven by money and just wants to play football. He regularly deletes all his Instagram posts and posts without captions, adding to his mystique. He is unique and does things his own way.
Michael Olise House & Cars
Michael Olise lives in a ten-room villa in Grünwald. It is an exclusive neighbourhood on the outskirts of Munich that is a favourite among Bayern Munich stars like Joshua Kimmich. The property was formerly the home of Jérôme Boateng and was put on the market for €11.5 million before being rented out to Olise.
The villa features a heated outdoor swimming pool, a full wellness area with a sauna, a dedicated fitness room, a private home cinema and a wine cellar. It has modern architecture with clean lines, white walls and large windows, and a large garden with sun loungers.
One of the most famous stories about Olise and cars is not about luxury. During his time at Reading, he would leave his home in London at 5:30 AM to beat traffic and arrive at the training ground on time. He would arrive so early that he often fell asleep in his car, and teammates sometimes had to knock on his window to wake him up.
