I know footballers venture in a lot of businesses; hotels, property, education and the likes, but Gold business is quite rare. Ivory Coast international, Didier Drogba has sealed a deal with Ity Mines Cooperation; an Ivory Coast-based Gold mine. Although he acquired 5% shares last year, the ex Chelsea star made the deal official few days ago.

The 35-year-old Galatarasay striker launched his Didier Drogba Group (DDG) business venture last year. His company was set up to participate in local investments and providing job opportunities for youths in Ivory Coast.
