Neymar: $300 Million
With a net worth of $300 million, Neymar is not only tremendously popular, but also one of the world’s wealthiest footballers. PSG directors offered their star striker a massive contract in 2017, right after he arrived in Paris from Barcelona, at $78 million per year. A lucrative sponsorship contract nets the Brazilian an additional $18 million. Neymar’s future appears to be as bright as it has always been, and his salary is unlikely to be cut anytime soon. Let’s hope he can continue to astonish us with his exceptional abilities and performances while still making a good livelihood.
