Kylian Mbappe is undeniably recognized as one of the best football players in the world right now, and he is among the brightest stars in the sport.
Barely reaching the pinnacle of his career, the 24-year-old plays for his hometown team, Paris Saint-Germain, one of the wealthiest football clubs worldwide, supported by the sovereign-wealth fund of Qatar.
The Frenchman's remarkable achievements include a FIFA World Cup triumph and a billion-dollar offer, all before turning 25. The question arises: What is Kylian Mbappe's net worth in 2023?
Kylian Mbappe's Net Worth 2023: $180 Million
The 24-year-old Mbappe is worth $180 million, according to various sources such as Celebrity Net Worth and EssentiallySports.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner secured the third spot on business and financial magazine Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes in 2023, accumulating a remarkable $120 million in earnings over the past year.
The lion's share of his income, totaling $100 million, is attributed to his salary from Paris Saint-Germain, while an additional $20 million was derived from numerous partnerships and endorsement deals.

Kylian Mbappe's Wealth
The four-time Ligue 1 Player of the Year is very selective of his endorsements, choosing to associate with select, high-quality brands rather than pursuing numerous partnership deals.
On his official website, Mbappe showcases his association with just three brands: American sportswear brand Nike, eyewear company Oakley, and luxury Swiss watchmaker Hublot.
Mbappe has been with Nike since 2006, and in 2019, he signed a new 10-year contract that sees him earn $17 million annually from the Beaverton-based company to rock their shoes and apparel on-and-off the pitch.
The deal with the Swoosh brand has additional bonuses based upon performance-related achievements such as winning the Champions League, the Ballon d'Or, and the European Golden Boot, which could elevate his earnings even further.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner previously held endorsements with Electronic Arts, LVMH Moët Hennessy, Louis Vuitton, Panini, and Sorare.
In July 2023, amidst a contractual disagreement with PSG, the Saudi Professional League side Al-Hilal made a remarkable offer to the French club, amounting to $1.1 billion, to secure the services of Mbappe solely for the 2023-24 season.
The Riyadh-based club was prepared to invest $332 million as a transfer fee to PSG while offering Mbappe a record-breaking $776 million salary, likely tax-free, to play for a single season in the Saudi Professional League.
Afterwards, PSG's all-time top scorer would be free to return to European football competition as a free agent at the end of the arrangement in the summer of 2024.
Despite the dizzying amount of zeroes in the offer sheet, Mbappe rejected any opportunity to negotiate with the Saudi Arabian delegates, who had gone so far as to fly to Paris to impress him with their proposal.
