After retirement, Nicklas Bendtner’s life has been less typical.

The 35-year-old cult favourite of Arsenal retired from football in 2021 after a stint at FC Copenhagen, the team he grew up watching.

.

Nicklas Bendtner gave up football to live a glamorous life.

Things were not always so simple when he was playing.

Initially, he acknowledged that he was on the verge of bankruptcy due to his approximately £5.4 million in poker losses, which included losing £400,000 in less than 90 minutes in a London casino.

Then, for attacking a taxi driver in 2020, he was put under home arrest and required to wear an electronic tag.

But ever since bidding the game adieu, “Lord Bendtner” has been living a lavish lifestyle.

Jet set doesn’t describe his experiences, which range from once-in-a-lifetime travels with his Swedish girlfriend Clara Wahlqvist to kickboxing retreats in Thailand, wine tastings with friends, and scuba diving in the Philippines.

Back home, Bendtner has made a name for himself as a reality TV star, hosting his own comedy programme.

We explore the existence of the Denmark tale, tinged with jealousy.

The £7 million Instagram account of the high-life Bendtner gives insight into his spending patterns.

He enjoys dressing in upscale apparel, and he particularly values Louis Vuitton’s collaborations with Supreme and Gucci.

He enjoys participating in outdoor sports and taking trips throughout the world.

In February, he was captured on camera partaking in scuba diving at Palawan Island, Philippines.

Prior to that, Sir Ranulph Fiennes would have relished a trek through Sweden’s icy mountains.

A trip to Mykonos was the perfect way to top off his tan, but before he left, he had to attend a kickboxing retreat in Thailand to sharpen his skills.

In addition, Bendtner has enjoyed wine tasting, cigar smoking, horseback riding, and hunting.

Sweet ride

The epitome of luxury would be incomplete without an incredible vehicle.

Bendtner has been spotted driving some amazing vehicles over the years, including a £120,000 Aston Martin that he wrote off in 2009.

Amusingly, he was called “brainless” and “insane” for trying to buy a £300,000 Rolls-Royce, when he was released by FC Copenhagen and was unemployed.

That hasn’t stopped him from splashing the cash on a Porsche Taycan Turbo S – worth around £230,000.

However, he had the motor seized in 2021, and subsequently lost an appeal against driving convictions to get it back.

He was seen attending his court hearing last week in a more modest volvo.

On social media, Bendtner also shared a snap of a glorious 1988 Porsche.

Bendtner, the wonderful Wag Ladies man, moved on with another gorgeous model after allegedly hooking up with Spider-Man Tom Holland’s ex-girlfriend Philine Roepstorff.

The blonde beauty Clara Wahlqvist, a previous Miss Universe Sweden winner, is the focus of his aspirations.

and she is undoubtedly skilled at making him smile.

She called him “my favourite person” and posted a happy birthday message on Instagram back in January.

Her lovely note was accompanied by a collage of images showing the couple appearing smitten.

Clara has gone on numerous high-jinx adventures with her beloved.

Could she be the one who tamed Bendtner and convince him to settle down?

Small screen fame

although he is reportedly working towards his coaching badges, Bendtner is happy to take advantage of his fame in Denmark.

Going down the route of the Kardashians, he appeared in a reality Tv show called Bendtner & Philine that followed his life and former romance with the Danish beauty.

astonishingly, it ran for two seasons before they split up.

Bendtner then teamed up with amazon Prime to present Nicolas Pranker – a show where he went undercover to prank mates and members of the public.

One hilarious moment saw the funny man convince someone off the street to help him steal a Tv.

Game boy

During lockdown, and with his career at a crossroads, Bendtner turned to gaming.

He said it gave him a connection with the outside world, but it also prompted him to set up a business.

His addiction to Counter-Strike influenced a decision to set up his Prosapia eSport team.

Bendtner said: “When the coronavirus came and I was bound by isolation, I started playing Counter-Strike.

“It gave me a sense of connection to the outside world.  My knowledge and interest started to grow.

“I learned about the esports industry, and the impact it has on young people who are working very hard to reach the top.

“That’s why I founded Prosapia eSport, so that my employees and I can help young and promising talent reach their goals.

“But most importantly, the Counter-Strike game brings me joy.”
