Jakarta –
Cristiano Ronaldo dominates the list of footballers with the largest income in the world in 2023. CR7’s income is far above his main rival, Lionel Messi.
Famous economic media Forbes released the 11 world football players who have the highest earnings this year. Ronaldo occupies first place on the list with income of 260 million US dollars.
Ronaldo’s highest salary comes from his club, Al Nassr, amounting to 200 million US dollars. Another $60 million is the Portuguese star’s off-field payments, including sponsorships and advertising.
Lionel Messi is second on the list of footballers with an income of 135 million euros. The flea gets paid 65 million US dollars from his club, Inter Miami, but has a larger income off the field (70 million US dollars).
The third position on the list of footballers with the largest income is filled Neymar. The Brazilian bomber’s move to the Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal, helped increase his wealth, which now has a fee of 112 million US dollars.
Former colleagues of Lionel Messi and Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe, took fourth place. The French star has an income of 110 million US dollars.
Karim Benzema became another player who had a career in Saudi Arabia who was on the list of highest paid footballers. This former Real Madrid man received a salary of 100 million US dollars from Al Ittihad, plus 6 million US dollars from off-field income.
Erling Haaland may have had flashy achievements at club level with Manchester City. However, the Norwegian bomber ‘only’ earned 58 million US dollars this year, or almost half less than Ronaldo, Neymar and Benzema who have careers in Saudi Arabia.
Haaland’s income is only slightly superior to his rival in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool star collected 53 million US dollars.
