Cesc Fàbregas tops annual list of highest-paid footballers

In 2021 it looked like the footballer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Fàbregas is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Spanish footballer has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Fàbregas Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Arenys de Mar Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfàbregas - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Cesc) and a fashion line called “Cesc Fàbregas Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Cesc fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
