The Ball Boy that was kicked by Chelsea legend Eden Hazard has moved its £ 150 million vodka company to a “fully golden head office”.
Charlie Morgan, now 28, bumped into Hazard, 34, when Chelsea played Swansea 12 years ago in the Carabao Cup.
The then 17-year-old refused to transfer the ball in a brutal attempt to waste time.
And with Swansea just a few minutes away from Chelsea from the competition, the frustrations of Hazard are cooked.
The Belgian kicked out in frustration at Morgan.
But Hazard received a red card for his problems when Swansea set up a Carabao final against Bradford who won them 5-0.
While the wing player eventually secured two Premier League titles in Chelsea before he ended his career at Real Madrid, Morgan also enjoyed career success.
In 2015 he focused a WODKA company on the name Au Vodka.
It is now worth an amazing £ 150 million.
His success has called him in the Times' Millionaires Under 30 list.
And now Morgan has unveiled the new headquarters of the company in his native Swansea.
The interior of the building is decorated in a mix of black and gold.
And Morgan shared his latest insights about the company on LinkedIn.
He said: “Introduction … the new headquarters of the au vodka.
“We spent four years in our first office, that was only 250 m² and only fit, Jackson Quinn & Jordan Major (who was only 16 and orders packaging!).
“We spent five years in an industrial unit in Swansea, where we have grown the company exponentially and the team to 96 people, whom we have added a new Mezzanine floor four times.
“Today we moved to our new house – a fully golden head office that really represents AU and for which we stand.”
Many celebrities have approved the Morgan brand, including Ronaldinho and Floyd Mayweather.
Amazingly enough, even Hazard enjoyed a drink after the couple was reunited last year.
Hazard said: “A nice thing about retirement is to catch up with old friends.
“You have taken a long way, my friend.”
Recent financial reports set Morgan's personal wealth to £ 55 million.
He will also inherit from his father Martin Morgan, who is the owner of the Morgan's Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel with 42 rooms in Swansea.
Martin is also director of Swansea City FC, how Charlie became a Bal boy against Chelsea in the first place.
