Kylian Mbappé is one of the most talented and highly paid footballers in the world. On Monday, October 24, 2022, his salary with Paris Saint-Germain was revealed by the French newspaper Le Parisien. Mbappé signed his new contract with PSG in May 2022 after a long period of indecision. He had to choose between leaving PSG or continuing his adventure with the club. Ultimately, he chose to extend his contract for three more years with the Parisian club.
The total salary offered to Mbappé is a whopping €630 million. This makes it the biggest contract ever signed by an athlete, according to Le Parisien. Mbappé has tripled his salary, which now stands at €6 million per month (€2.7 million after taxes).
If he decides to leave after a year, he will still receive a signing bonus of €180 million, paid out over three years. However, if he stays with the club, he will also receive a loyalty bonus of €70 million at the end of the summer. This bonus will increase by €10 million for each season he stays with PSG.
Comparing Mbappé’s salary to other sports stars and celebrities, we can see that he is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. However, Lionel Messi, his former teammate at PSG, is the second highest-paid footballer in the world, with a salary of €138 million per year, according to Forbes. Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nassr, now earns $213 million per year.
When it comes to Hollywood stars, Brad Pitt is considered one of the highest-paid actors in the world. According to Forbes, he earned €23 million in 2021. However, this pales in comparison to Beyoncé, who is one of the highest-paid musicians in the world. Forbes estimates her net worth at €330 million.
Even in the realm of basketball, Mbappé’s salary is still significant. LeBron James, widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, earned €102 million in 2021, according to Forbes.
In conclusion, Mbappé’s salary is impressive, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. However, there are still other sports stars and celebrities who earn even more. Regardless, his talent and hard work have made him one of the most sought-after players in football, and he continues to be a force to be reckoned with on the field.
