Top 10 footballers with the highest net worth (2017)

Honourable mentions

Mathieu Flamini kept the his business venture a secret, but a biochemical company he founded along with his partner Granata, GF Biochemicals seem to have found an alternative fuel source to Petrol. Flamini’s company is the only company which produces industrial-level standards of the wood fuel and his value could soon rise up to an unbelievable $20 billion making him one of the richest people in the world.

Let us now take a look at footballers ranked from 11th to 15th in terms of net worth:

#11 Toni Kroos – $86 million

#12 Thomas Muller – $84 million

#13 Paul Pogba – $80 million

#14 Carlos Tevez – $75 million

#15 Kaka – $70 million

Comparing these footballers to the world’s richest people, we see that only Flamini has a realistic chance of competing with them in the future.

These are the 5 richest people in the world:

#1 Bill Gates – $88.5 billion

#2 Warren Buffett – $74.1 billion

#3 Jeff Bezos – $74 billion

#4 Amancio Ortega – $72 billion

#5 Mark Zuckerberg – $65 billion

The world’s highest worth footballer David Beckham is nowhere near them, but there is no denying the fact that footballers are some of the best-paid sportsmen in the world.
