The £120,000-a-week football star, Mario Balotelli's Mom is a cleaner at a lease firm and earns £6 an hour

Mario Balotelli's Biological Mom

 Soo... Mario Balotelli earns £120,000 a week, drives a lovely Bentley, parties with very hot girls, enjoys  champagne  and I even heard gist that he drops hundreds of pounds on a church collection plate... but his mother works as a cleaner in an office a few miles from his mansion and earns just £6.00 an hour. Her only mode of transportation are buses. 

Five times a week, she catches the bus  to start her job as a cleaner at a car lease  firm on the outskirts of Cheadle, near  Manchester, earning little more than the minimum wage of £6.08  an hour.

She lives in a council home in Wythenshawe, the area used to  film Shameless, the Channel 4 comedy about feckless families living on benefits.

The 46-year-old gave Balotelli up for adoption when he was two, and she and her husband were living in poverty in a tiny flat in Brescia, Italy. The couple who are originally from Ghana, were advised to give him up when he was two because he had a life-threatening intestinal condition made worse by their cramped living quarters. 

Last Christmas she moved to the Manchester area to be near her 21 year old son. 

A source said: 'When she came over from Italy with her daughter, Rose, she said she wanted to be close to her son and didn't want any of the huge wealth or luxury he now enjoys.

She's living within her limited means and working hard and keeps a low profile, says she doesn't want Mario to feel pressured by her being in the UK. I hear Mario has visited her a few times. She said, 'We don't see each other all the time as he has his life and I have mine.'
