Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi has revealed why his mother has always been in charge of managing his wealth. Speaking on Anas Bukhash’s YouTube show “Unveiling The Truth”, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star shed light on his financial decisions and the lessons he has learned from his family.

Viral Reports About Hakimi’s Wealth

In 2023, reports emerged about Hakimi’s separation from his wife, Hiba Abouk. According to Morocco World News, Abouk allegedly sought half of Hakimi’s property and wealth during their split. However, she was reportedly surprised to discover that the footballer had no assets in his name.

Spanish outlet Marca added that Hakimi’s wages had been deposited into his mother’s bank account, a practice he has adhered to since the beginning of his career.

Hakimi’s Financial Journey

The 26-year-old, who began his football career at just seven years old with the Spanish club Colonia Ofigevi, revealed that his mother has managed his income since childhood. He shared:
“When I was young and started playing football, I earned a lot of money, but I didn’t know how to manage it. My mother took care of everything and taught me how to handle financial matters.”

Hakimi explained that his mother’s guidance extended to major financial decisions:
“I always seek her opinion whether I’m buying a house, a car, or making significant investments.”

Lessons From His Separation

Reflecting on his separation from Abouk, Hakimi emphasized the unique bond between a mother and her child:
“A mother is the one person who genuinely loves you, whether you have money or not. When you trust her with your wealth, you know it’s safe. She won’t steal from you; instead, she’ll protect it.”

Hakimi added that his family decided his mother would stop working to focus on managing his finances and supporting his career:
“She managed everything so that I could concentrate on my career. Having money means you can only trust a few people, and for me, my mother has always been that person.”

Takeaways From Hakimi’s Story

Hakimi’s openness offers insight into the importance of trust, family, and financial literacy, especially for young athletes managing sudden wealth. His story highlights the critical role his mother played in securing his financial future and serves as a lesson in valuing family support over external influences.
