Gerard Piqué 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 Monday (February 17) that Piqué is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 Spanish 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 Piqué Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Barcelona Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpiqué - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gerard) and a fashion line called “Gerard Piqué Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Gerard fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
