In the 2022-2023 season the Frenchman will earn 128 million dollars: 8 million more than the Pulce and 28 more than CR7
Kylian Mbappé undermines Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and becomes the richest footballer in the world. According to estimates by Forbesin the 2022-2023 season the Frenchman will earn 128 million dollars, 8 million more than the Argentine phenomenon and 28 more than CR7, who remains the player who earns the most off the pitch (60 million). In fourth place is another PSG player, Neymar, ahead of Salah (Liverpool) and Haaland. Completing the Top 10 are Lewandowski, Hazard, Iniesta and De Bruyne.
The 128 million dollars calculated by Forbes take into account sports revenues and those deriving from agreements with a team of partners that includes Nike, Dior, Hublot, Oakley and Panini. The attacker’s interests do not end there: Mbappé has been the cover face of the Fifa video game for three years, has his own sports content production company, Zebra Valley, and is an ambassador and investor of the NFT Sorare platform. The bulk (110 million) comes from the tumultuous renewal with PSG last summer, after turning down the Real Madrid court.
In sixth position, Manchester City prodigy Erling Haaland makes his debut in the top ten, the only one of the top ten, besides Mbappé, to be less than 30 years old. The ten highest-paid footballers in the world this season are expected to collectively earn $ 652 million, an increase of 11% from last year’s $ 585 million.
