Georgia’s richest man promises a fortune if they beat Spain
Bidzina Ivanishvili wants to motivate her team to beat Spain in the Round of 16 of Euro 2024.
After beating Portugal 2-0, with Cristiano Ronaldo and his squad of top-tier players, and qualifying for the Round of 16 in Euro 2024, the Georgian national team is living a dream. They now have even more motivation to beat Spain in the knockout stage, with a huge cash prize at stake.
Georgia’s reward for making it to the next phase of the most important European national team tournament is impressive. Additionally, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, known as the richest man in Georgia, has offered the team $11 million if they manage to defeat Spain in the Round of 16.
Ivanishvili, who has formed a political party called “Georgian Dream,” announced his decision to fund this bonus. He also heads the Cartu Foundation, which is known for its charitable activities in the Caucasus region.
