Former Brazil star Adriano was a hero on the football pitch but he is also known for his equally wild lifestyle off the pitch.
Adriano, who we’re sure celebrated his 44th birthday in style on Tuesday (February 17), starred for Inter Milan, Parma and Roma in Serie A and also enjoyed a stellar career in his homeland. The 48-time Brazil international was regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation, but unfortunately his prime didn’t last as long as many hoped – like his marriage to ex-wife Micaela Mesquita which reportedly lasted just 24 days.
The man dubbed L’Imperatore (The Emperor) by Inter fans certainly knew how to kick back off the pitch, but one instance saw him go to extensive measures to cheer himself up after a move to Ligue 1 fell through.

In 2015 at the age of 33 and without a club following a brief failed spell with Atletico Paranaense, the former Inter Milan star was on the prowl for a new team.
Le Havre had made him an offer and he was ready to sign for the French side but the deal fell through at the last minute. A takeover of the club had crashed and the audacious contract offer was taken off the table, leaving Adriano devastated.
And he consoled himself in the best way he could think of – by spending £13,000 on 18 adult workers, reported Extra.

It was stated that he flew back to Rio de Janeiro and went straight to a brothel, taking the women to a private party at Motel VIP’s.
The binge did not end until the early hours where by that point Adriano had spent thousands of Brazilian Reals – R$60,000 to be precise. Just the year before in 2014, the former Inter Milan and Parma star had been cleared for drug trafficking after being accused in 2010, due to a lack of evidence.
Adriano would eventually find a new club in Miami United in 2016 but failed to make a single appearance.
That would signal the end of his playing career but those who remember him in his prime know how frightening the forward was for defenders.
After exploding onto the scene at the age of 18, many had tipped him to become the long-term successor to Ronaldo while he did fill in for the Brazil legend at the 2004 Copa America.
He finished the tournament as the Golden Boot winner after netting seven while he also won four Serie A titles with Inter Milan.
Adriano formed a deadly quartet for the Selecao with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka at the 2006 World Cup – though they were ultimately knocked out by France in the quarter-finals.
