What this profile deliberately leaves out
His family and relationships are frequent searches, but this site does not report on them — they are not relevant to his play and this is not a tabloid. Net worth is not published because it would require guessing at spending and taxes on top of the sourced salary figures already on the contract page. See how this site decides what to cover.
