Marko Mitrović 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 (November 4) that Mitrović is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 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 Serbian footballer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Mitrović Burger” chain) in Belgrade, a Football Team (the “Belgrade Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermitrović - Serbia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Marko) and a fashion line called “Marko Mitrović Seduction”.

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