Earlier this year Kylian Mbappe bookmarked a record incredible speed of 22.4mph as he ran from his own six-yard box to finish off a Paris-Saint Germain counter-attack against rivals Marseille in their Ligue 1 match.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have dominated the spotlight over the past 15 years, with Neymar also one of the most high-profile players to command the attention of fans.
As Ronaldo and Messi move into the latter stages of their careers, though, the focus is beginning to turn to a new generation of stars.
At international level he has represented France since 2017 and incredibly won the World Cup as a teenager a year later, scoring in the final to prompt praise from Pele, who was the only other player to score in world football’s biggest match under the age of 20.
With huge achievements already under his belt, Mbappe along with Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland is on pace to become one of the top stars of football’s future.
While he is still only 22, Mbappe has already built an impressive net worth that is likely to rise substantially in a long career at the highest level.
He has admitted his “life has been totally turned upside down” by his football success and here we run through some of the PSG star’s key financial and commercial details.
Mbappe’s Net Worth
Similar to all the major and talented footballers that play in the European leagues, it wouldn’t be a massive surprise if Kylian Mbappe is worth a fortune. During the start of this year 2021, Kylian Mbappe was estimated to have a net worth of $95 million. which is £68.5m and €78.5m. in other key currencies.
That huge net worth figure already puts him above older and more established stars like Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah.
It is already almost half the total of his PSG team-mate Neymar, a player well-known for his commercial power.
The figure is lower than the net worth accumulated by Lionel Messi on the football rich list with Cristiano Ronaldo even further ahead.

Mbappe was signed in a worth a total of $213m, or €180m eventually moving to PSG in the second-biggest football transfer ever. a move that smashed the teenage transfer record previously held by Anthony Martial. The striker left Monaco like Mbappe to join Man Utd in 2015.
Mbappe holds the record transfer for a European player and is the most expensive teenager ever.
Mbappe joined PSG in the same summer as Neymar’s 2017 move, though the deal was not fully completed until 2018.
PSG signing him changed the landscape of the transfer market. Mbappe actually arrived at the club on a loan deal that had a clause that would be made permanent if Les Parisiens avoided relegation. This was inevitable and purely installed to circumvent Financial Fair Play.
Mbappe has gone some way to realizing his potential at Parc des Princes and has continued to score at the prodigious rate expected of him.
And a hat-trick against Barcelona at Camp Nou in the 2020/21 Champions League last 16 seemed to confirm his rise to superstar status.
How Much Does Mbappe Earn?
With a transfer that was so expensive, the wages for Mbappe were never going to come cheap for PSG. According to Forbes Mbappe was estimated to be earning a total of $42 million over the course of 2020, of which $28m was salary and bonuses from his contract with the French champions.
The remainder was made up in endorsements and other income. Elite footballers such as Messi ($126m), Ronaldo ($117m) and Neymar ($96m) only earned more than him.
Mbappe’s current contract with PSG expires in 2022 and he is in negotiations with the club over a new deal.
The striker has said he is considering his options as he knows his next contract will be a huge commitment covering many of his peak years.
Already a world-class talent but with so long left in his career, Mbappe can expect to see his earnings both in terms of his salary and endorsements rocket whether he renews with PSG or ultimately moves elsewhere.
Real Madrid and Liverpool have been among the clubs interested in his signature.
At his current level of wages and additional income, Mbappe is earning $3.5 million per month which comes in at more than $807,000 every week before taxes.
That is equivalent to a salary of $115,000 per day and gives him an hourly rate that only falls just short of $5,000 trickling down to $80 every minute and $1.33 every second.
Mbappe Sponsors
Mbappe alongside Cristiano Ronaldo are the only high-profile football stars to represent Nike.
He has a major sponsorship deal with the brand which was extended shortly before he moved to PSG. It is a tie-up that has and will continue to help him improve his net worth.
That extension came despite claims Adidas who are connected with Lionel Messi were also interested in swooping with a lucrative offer. Mbappe launched his first personalized boots aged 18 and had his first Mercurial shoe released by Nike in 2019.
One of his other prominent sponsors is luxury watchmaker Hublot.
Mbappe became Hublot’s first active player when he signed with the firm as a global ambassador in 2018. The attacker has also developed a close relationship with Electronic Arts and their FIFA video game series.

Mbappe contributed to the crowdfunding campaign that financed a private search for footballer Emiliano Sala, who tragically died in a helicopter crash having just signed for Cardiff City from Nantes.
He later supported a similar effort to search for the light aircraft’s pilot.
