2022-10-07T19:09:14.885Z


The American business magazine Forbes reveals that the 23-year-old PSG and Les Bleus striker will be the highest paid footballer this season,


This will certainly flatter the ego of Kylian Mbappé, always eager for records and eager to be the first in all areas.

According to the economic magazine Forbes, the crack of Bondy would be on the way to becoming the highest paid footballer in the world, with income estimated at 128 M dollars, or 131 M € - sum from which must however be deducted the related agent commissions to the various contracts signed.

A great performance, knowing that this privilege was reserved alternately for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the past eight seasons.

It is in a study published this Friday that the American magazine reaches these conclusions.

According to Forbes, Mbappé's income breaks down as follows: $110 million in salaries and bonuses related to his sports activities and $18 million from non-sports partnerships, foremost among which are the brands Nike, Dior, Hublot , Oakley and Panini.

In addition, Mbappé was recently chosen to appear on the cover of the video game FIFA (EA Sports) for the third consecutive year.

Additionally, he founded a production company, Zebra Valley, and joined fantasy platform NFT Sorare as an ambassador and investor.

At only 23 years old, the French genius does more than succeed the two multiple Ballons d'Or.

Indeed, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi had each passed 30 years when they first surpassed the $100 million annual revenue mark in 2018.

In the ranking of the biggest fortunes of footballers, the PSG and Blues striker is now ahead of Messi, 120 million dollars, Ronaldo, 100 million, Neymar, 87 million, and Mohamed Salah, 53 million.

Note that Erling Haaland, the young Norwegian bomber from Manchester City, also made a big leap forward, and appeared in the Top 10 of the ranking, occupying the 6th position with an annual income estimated at 39 million.
