Franck Ribéry 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 (December 21) that Ribéry is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 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 Ribéry Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Boulogne-sur-Mer Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderibéry - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Franck) and a fashion line called “Franck Ribéry Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Franck fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
