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 it—from once-in-a-lifetime adventures with his Swedish girlfriend Clara Wahlqvist to kickboxing retreats in Thailand, wine tastings with friends, and scuba diving in the Philippines.

Bendtner has established himself as a reality TV celebrity in his native country, hosting his own comedy programme.

High-life Bendtner’s Instagram provides a glimpse into his spending habits with his £7 million fortune.

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 walk 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.

enchanting journey
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.

Funny enough, after being let go by FC Copenhagen and without a job, he tried to purchase a £300,000 Rolls-Royce and was labelled as “insane” and “brainless.”

That hasn’t prevented him from spending a lot of money on a £230,000 Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

He did not, however, succeed in his appeal against driving convictions to reclaim the automobile when it was taken in 2021.

Last week, he was spotted driving a more subdued Volkswagen to his court appearance.

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.

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

Bendtner is content to capitalise on his notoriety in Denmark, despite supposedly pursuing his coaching qualifications.

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 programme in which he went undercover 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.

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

In addition to providing him with a link to the outside world, he claimed it inspired him to launch a business.

His choice to form his Prosapia eSport squad was driven by his devotion to Counter-Strike.

Bendtner stated: “I started playing Counter-Strike when the coronavirus hit and I was forced into isolation.

“It gave me a sense of connection to the outside world. My curiosity and knowledge began to expand.

“I gained knowledge about the esports sector and its effects on young individuals who are putting forth a lot of effort to succeed.

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

“But above all, I enjoy playing the Counter-Strike game.”
