Kylian Mbappe is a professional footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The French star broke out in the 2016 – 17 season while playing for AS Monaco. He moved to PSG in 2017 and has played for them ever since. This article talks about Kylian Mbappe’s net worth and his salary at Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe is regarded as one of the biggest talents in football right now. The French striker has unbelievable goal-scoring records. He has also won the FIFA World Cup with his nation and almost carried France to a second World Cup but lost to Argentina in the penalties. Kylian Mbappe already has 12 World Cup goals. To put this into perspective, Lionel Messi has 13 World Cup goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo has eight.
The most goals scored by a single player in the World Cup is 16, scored by Miroslav Klose. The fact that Mbappe already had 12 goals at the age of 23 speaks volumes. He will surely shatter this record in the future and quite possibly go past Klose in his next World Cup. Kylian Mbappe had his breakout season when he was just 18 years old, playing for AS Monaco.

Mbappe surprised everyone with his electric pace and raw, instinctive finishing. Mbappe was being compared to Thierry Henry at just 18 years of age. Paris Saint-Germain instantly decided to sign him as he looked like he would surely be a star in the future. PSG initially signed him on a one-year loan before paying AS Monaco a whopping $160 Million for the French star. Reportedly, further add-ons worth $39 Million were also included in the transfer fee. This made the total cost approximately $200 Million.
After having such a rocket of a start to his professional career, it comes as no surprise that Kylian Mbappe is one of the richest footballers in the world. The PSG star has an estimated net worth of $180 Million. The French star has been eyeing a move to Real Madrid for quite a while, but PSG have managed to convince him to stay somehow or the other. One of the major reasons Mbappe agreed to stay was the massive salary and signing bonus being given to him by the club. Such contracts have surely helped boost his net worth.

Mbappe’s contract, however, is set to expire in June 2024. According to multiple reports, he will not extend his contract at PSG any further, no matter what is offered. He has refused to trigger the one-year extension in his contract and has informed PSG that he will leave as a free agent at the end of this season. He is set to join Real Madrid in the summer. While his salary will quite probably not be as high as that at Madrid, it will surely be extremely high and will help Mbappe increase his net worth even further.
The French star is possibly the most marketable player in the world right now. While the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still more famous than Mbappe, they have moved outside of Europe. The new generation has already started looking up to Mbappe. This is why he has received various lucrative brand endorsements. The star has ongoing contracts with companies like Nike, Oakley, Hublot, and EA Sports. These brand endorsements, along with his professional contracts, are two of Mbappe’s most significant sources of revenue and have helped him achieve an estimated net worth of $180 Million.
