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 Guivarc'h is the highest-paid footballer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 $275 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 Guivarc'h Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Concarneau Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderguivarc'h - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Stéphane) and a fashion line called “Stéphane Guivarc'h Seduction”.

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