Mario Götze 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 (March 28) that Götze is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $20 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 German footballer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Götze Burger” chain) in Berlin, a Football Team (the “Memmingen Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergötze - Germany), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mario) and a fashion line called “Mario Götze Seduction”.

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