 Family & Personal Life –

  Their relationship was not a cakewalk. Both of them struggled hard to maintain the relationship. When Samuel failed to get into any club in Nantes, he had to return to his hometown in Douala in Cameroon. As a result, Georgette and Samuel had to maintain a long-distance relationship. Nevertheless, they kept the relationship alive. While Samuel was busy making his career back in his hometown, Georgette persistently supported him by assuring that she would always be by his side.

  

  When Samuel joined ‘Real Madrid’ for its 1997 season, he moved back to Europe, which marked the beginning of their live-in relationship. The two lived in Spain. Eventually, Samuel and Georgette decided to start a family. They became parents of Siena and Lynn, who now live with their mother in Paris.

  Ever since Georgette came into Samuel’s life, she has been a source of unwavering support to him. She had always displayed her faith and confidence in Samuel’s talent, even when everyone else had not.

They eventually became parents of two more children, Etienne and Maelle.

Cameroonian footballer Samuel Eto’o has a net worth of $95 million and annual salary of $26 million. In addition to his net worth, he currently is known for being the most decorated African footballer of all time. In 1997, Samuel Eto’o’s career began when he joined the Real Madrid football club. As he was still a minor at this time, he was relegated to training with Real Madrid B. Due to a complicated situation involving Real Madrid B’s “no foreign players” policy, Eto’o was bounced around a couple of different football clubs, eventually landing at RCD Mallorca. While at Mallorca, Eto’o began to become a real star, known for his crowd pleasing playing style: “I doubt if there is any other player in the world who would please the fans more at this moment,” said Mallorca President Mateo Alemany. From Mallorca, Eto’o moved to Barcelona, where he remained until 2009, when he joined the Internazionale club. Eto’o plays for the Anzhi Makhachkala club in a three year deal.
