It's quite astonishing to learn that he now has a £40 million empire.

In 2013, when he was 17 years old, the teenager tried to pass the time during Swansea's League Cup semifinal second leg matchup against the Blues.

He appeared to protect the ball from Hazard as it was sent out for a corner while he was working pitchside for the Welsh club.

Chelsea had just ten minutes of the second leg to try to score two goals after falling down 2-0 in the first leg.

Hazard kicked Charlie in an effort to free the ball after becoming frustrated with the teenager's antics.

The Belgian forward received a red card for the violent behavior, and Swansea went on to eliminate Chelsea before winning the League Cup at Wembley with a 5-0 victory over Bradford.

Less than ten years later, Charlie, who is now 26 years old, has established a career independent of Hazard.

He owns a successful vodka business worth £40 million and is a multi-millionaire.

He founded the company, Au Vodka, in 2016 with Jackson Quinn, a classmate in school.

In December 2019, things really started to pick up when they sold 10,000 bottles of black grape vodka in a single month .

The Sunday Times Rich List for 2022 has now included Charlie due to his empire.

Martin Morgan, director of Swansea FC and proprietor of Morgan's Hotel, is the father of the young businessman.

As seen by the numerous A-listers who have been seen endorsing his goods, Charlie has undoubtedly built a reputation for himself.

Former football player Ronaldinho, club owner Wayne Lineker, and boxing icon Floyd Mayweather are among them.

Charlie has even asserted that Mayweather contacted the company.

Au Vodka now produces 35,000 bottles per day, although Morgan has acknowledged that a few of the flavors just weren't successful.

Charlie himself declared a banana flavor to be "very nasty," while the manuka honey and chocolate orange flavors were both dropped because they did not taste well.

However, that hasn't stopped the company from expanding further.

Morgan, who is currently valued at £40 million, is unbelievable for a teenager who started as a ball boy for Swansea to become a successful businessman.
