Lucas Podolski is enjoying life as both a footballer and ‘doner king.’ The former Arsenal attacker owns 30 Kebab restaurants in Germany, raising his net worth to an astonishing £177.5m, including other businesses — a clothing and ice cream shop.
The 2014 World Cup champion got his kebab idea during his two-season stint with Galatasaray in Turkey. Street kebabs instantly became his ideal post-practice and post-match meal.

“You eat doner kebabs when you’re young, when you’re still playing and when you’ve finished playing – it’s a perfect solution,” Podolski said upon launching his Mangal Doner x Lukas Podolski shop in Berlin.
“Ideas just come — I don’t even really have a business plan right now,” the German Pole added. He certainly knows how to take his shot.
Podolski is still hitting bangers with his left foot. Check out his latest rocket launch for Polish League One side Górnik Zabrze.
