SWEDISH photographer Bingo Rimers has done the impossible - inflated Zlatan Ibrahimovic's ego even more than it already is.
The striker's face is the central figure on the 1,000 Swedish Krona note as he secures legendary status for his country.
The ex-Manchester United striker posted a picture of himself on Instagram posing with the humongous work of art.
As if that wasn't enough, he added in the caption: "You have Benjamin Franklin and you have me".
Comparing himself to the man that dons the US $100 note is Zlatan all over.
The 35-year-old is currently a free agent, after Manchester United decided not to renew his one year contract.
The Swedish all-time top goalscorer bagged a whopping 18 league goals, before being ruled out with a serious knee injury which forced him to sit out the remainder of the season.
There have been rumours that the Swede may well return, with former teammate Paul Pogba dropping a big hint recently.

Zlatan has been stepping up his recovery, posting a video of himself on Instagram last week in the gym.
United's top goalscorer last season captioned the video: "Power is nothing without control.”
He seems to be much more comfortable with weight on his knee, which suggests he could be ready for action sooner rather than later.
United boss Mourinho said that a move to get the striker back at the club is in the pipeline.
He said: “It’s open, of course. Why not wait for a player who gave us so much, we are exchanging ideas and it’s with Mr Woodward and Zlatan’s agent but the final decision is what’s best for the player."
If The Red Devils decide not to recruit the Swede back, there may be a line of suitors ready to pounce on the deadly striker.
