Good Morning 😃
How are you doing?
The news about Achraf Hakimi’s divorce was on social media last week, with most people sharing different opinions. In fact, due to previous issues like this that leaves most footballers with little or nothing after a divorce, celebrities praised Achraf for his move.
In case you’ve not heard about this story, get glued to this newsletter as I share some information as found in the media.
Hiba Abouk, the estranged wife of Achraf Hakimi, is a Spanish actress who filed for divorce after the Paris Saint-Germain defender (Achraf) was accused of attempting to rape a 24-year-old woman. Hakimi denied sexual assault and has maintained his innocence as he believes the woman is trying to extort him.
Hiba (36 years old) reportedly requested half of Hakimi’s properties but was shocked to find out that everything he owns is in his mother’s name. Achraf (24 years old), a professional footballer has a reported net worth of about $24 million, although 80 percent of his PSG wage goes directly into his mother’s bank account. The pair married in 2020 and have two boys together—Amin and Naim. Some people have however accused Hiba of being a gold digger, while others blame Achraf for cheating and bringing women into their home.
The Financial Principles from Their Story
The divorce of Achraf Hakimi is a personal matter and may not necessarily provide a universal financial lesson for all people in marriage. However, there are some general financial principles that can be applied to marriages and relationships.
- Open and honest communication about finances in marriage. Couples should regularly discuss their financial goals, expectations, and concerns, as well as create a joint financial plan that they both agree on. This can help prevent misunderstandings and disagreements over money that could potentially lead to a divorce.
- Both partners should take an active role in managing their finances. This means sharing responsibility for budgeting, saving, investing, and planning for the future.
- Regular review and update of any estate plans, wills, and beneficiary designations to ensure they align with current financial situation and wishes. A will or estate plan is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets will be distributed after their death. It can also include provisions for the care of dependents, the appointment of guardians, and the management of financial affairs.
- In the case of divorce, it’s important to seek professional financial advice to ensure that both parties receive a fair settlement and that their financial futures are secure.
In summary, the financial lesson that can be learned from Achraf Hakimi’s divorce is to prioritise financial planning and communication in marriage, regular discussions about finances, and review/update estate plans as necessary.
