The richest footballer in the world is Faiq Bolkiah – the son of the Prince of Brunei, whose fortune is estimated at $ 20 billion.

The richest footballer in the world is Faiq Bolkiah – the son of the Prince of Brunei, whose fortune is estimated at $ 20 billion. In other words, he is not the richest player in the world because of what he has done on the pitch. Also number two on the list is not rich thanks to football. Unknown former Arsenal player Mathieu Flamini was doing very well after football when he co-founded GF Biochemicals, the world’s first mass-produced levulinic acid company. – He has a fortune of $14 billion. Only in the 3rd place will you find someone who got rich from football. Ronaldo has a fortune of $500 million but now earns €200 million a year. In Saudi Arabia, he is rapidly building his fortune.
Kylian Mbappe, who is currently ranked 5th with a net worth of $150 million, began flirting with Al-Hilal about a possible move to the Saudi Pro League club. PSG have given the go-ahead for talks after being promised a record transfer fee of €300m. Ligue 1 have successfully put the 24-year-old up for sale after he refused to sign a one-year contract extension, opening the threat of the superstar leaving on a free transfer.
Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that talks have begun with Saudi officials heading to Paris. Romano adds that PSG sources believe Mbappe is still under contract with Madrid. There are two potential obstacles to the transition negotiations, a Spanish source suggests. Firstly, Mbappe only wants a one-year contract with Al-Hilal while the club want to offer him a two-year contract. Thus, the door would still be open for the player to move to Real Madrid next summer. Secondly, Al-Hilal is said to be willing to spend a total of €700m to sign Mbappe, combining the transfer fee and his salary. Reportedly, PSG were pushing for an offer of €300m with the rest of the money going to the player. AS reports that Mbappe’s people want him to receive a much larger share of this sum. It is said that they want him to get “as close as possible to €500m”, which would mean PSG would only receive €200m. So Kylian Mbappe will become the third richest footballer of all time within a year.
