Gianluigi Buffon is the only keeper on this list. In his 15 seasons at Juventus, he has consistently earned over €5m per year. A major portion of Buffon’s fortune comes from his investment in a manufacturing company Zucchi.
In just a few months, the share price flew up over 100%, earning him €19.5m. His coffers have been further boosted by endorsement deals with Pepsi, Puma and Fiat.
#13 Bastian Schweinsteiger: Net worth - $80m
The Germany midfielder has been earning €10m per year since 2012 at Bayern Munich. That increased to about $19m per year at Manchester United.
Schweinsteiger is a global ambassador for Adidas and has a lucrative deal with Audi. The German’s other endorsements include Right Guard, Funny-Frisch Crisps, Nivea, and Beats by Dr. Dre. He ropes in about $3m through endorsements annually.
