Christophe Dugarry tops annual list of highest-paid footballers

In 2022 it looked like the footballer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 23) that Dugarry is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 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 French footballer has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Dugarry Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Lormont Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdugarry - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Christophe) and a fashion line called “Christophe Dugarry Seduction”.

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