Kylian Mbappé, the richest player in the world (according to Forbes)

He didn’t stay for the money, it seems, but in the end you can take it anyway. According to the annual ranking of Forbes magazine, which is a benchmark in the field, Kylian Mbappé emerges in 2022 in first place among the highest paid footballers in the world, dethroning Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have alternately led this ranking for eight years.

The tricolor world champion would receive nearly 131 million euros per year, including 110 in salary and the rest in various partnerships (Dior, Nike, Oakley, etc.), from which it would nevertheless be necessary to reduce the commissions linked to the various contracts signed, in particular that of his extension to PSG. Mbappé, once again figurehead of the new Fifa opus, is well ahead of Messi (the only one to exceed 100 million in income), CR7, or Neymar, who complete the top quartet. It should be noted that a certain Andrès Iniesta still appears in the top 10, who seems to be doing well in Japan, at almost 40 years old.
