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

The 35-year-old cult favorite of Arsenal retired from football in 2021 after a stint with 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.

From once-in-a-lifetime trips accompanied by his Swedish girlfriend Clara Wahlqvist to kickboxing retreats in Thailand, wine-tasting with pals, and scuba diving in the Philippines – jet set doesn’t cover it.

While back in his homeland, Bendtner has become a reality Tv star fronting his own prank show.

We delves into the Denmark legend’s existence – with a hint of envy.

High-life

Bendtner provides a glimpse into his spending habits on his £7 million Instagram account.

He has an affinity for high-end clothing, and he particularly like Louis Vuitton’s joint ventures with Supreme and Gucci.

His interests have been sparked by exploring the world and engaging in outdoor pursuits.

He was captured on camera scuba diving on Palawan Island in the Philippines back in February.

A hike through Sweden’s ice mountains would have been an excursion that Sir Ranulph Fiennes would have enjoyed before then.

Go skiing in St. Anton am Arlberg, an affluent Austrian hamlet, after that.

A trip to Mykonos would be perfect to top off his tan, but first he needed to attend a kickboxing retreat in Thailand to sharpen his skills.

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

Sweet ride

The high-life wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t have an amazing car.

Through the years, Bendtner has been seen behind the wheel of some incredible motors, including an £120,000 aston Martin 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 favorite 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.

Is she the one who managed to calm Bendtner down and persuade him to get married?

Bendtner is content to capitalize on his notoriety in Denmark, despite supposedly pursuing his coaching credentials.

Following in the footsteps of the Kardashians, he made an appearance on Bendtner & Philine, a reality TV series that chronicled his life and his previous relationship with the stunning Danish woman.

It ran for an incredible two seasons before they broke up.

After that, Bendtner and Amazon Prime collaborated to launch Nicolas Pranker, a program in which he went incognito to play practical jokes on friends and members of the public.

In a comical incident, the amusing man persuaded a random bystander to assist him in stealing a television.

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.”
