Enter into John Paintsil’s beautiful mansion and see his luxurious cars

Former Black Stars defender John Paintsil was arguably one of the most popular Ghanaian footballers during his playing days.

In a career which spanned over 17 years (1999-2016), Paintsil established himself as the number one right-full back for the Black Stars for most of his playing years.

While he was quite popular and one of the first names to expect on the squad list of the Black Stars during his playing days, Paintsil has been very quiet since retiring.

However, a sneak peek into the plush mansion of the former defender reveals that just like any of his colleagues, he is a very rich man but does not flaunt it.

Paintsil owns a very beautiful mansion somewhere in the prime area of East Legon and has a collection of expensive cars stocked there.

As someone who come from a relatively humble background, there is no doubt he has done so well for himself.

After bursting onto the scene as part of the Black Satellites, Ghana’s Under-20 team, which placed second at the 2001 FIFA Youth World Cup in Argentina, Paintsil established himself as regular for the senior national team.

He played over 80 matches for Ghana, including five AFCON tournaments (2002, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2013) and two FIFA World Cups (2006 and 2010).
