The richest footballers in the world

Footballers ranked by estimated net worth — everything they own, not only what they earn this year. Estimates differ between outlets, so each player shows every source we found. Live figures as of 2026-07-03. Net worth is an estimate: the figures below are those of the sources named under each entry, not our own calculation, and they move with every stock-market day.
