Is any footballer a billionaire?
The answer to this question is yes. As of March 2023, the title of the richest footballer in the world goes to Faiq Bolkiah, who has a net worth of a whopping USD 20 billion. This makes him one of the wealthiest athletes in the world, and the only footballer to have achieved billionaire status.
Faiq Bolkiah is a professional footballer from Brunei, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS. He is the son of Jefri Bolkiah, the Prince of Brunei, and is the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei. As such, he is heir to the throne of Brunei, and his wealth is derived from his family’s immense fortune.
However, Faiq Bolkiah is not the only footballer to have achieved billionaire status. Other footballers who have achieved this status include David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. All of these players have earned huge amounts of money through their footballing careers, as well as through endorsements and other business ventures.
In terms of the highest-earning footballer of the 2022-2023 season, that title goes to Kylian Mbappé. The French international earned an impressive USD 34 million during the season, making him the highest-paid footballer in the world. However, despite his impressive earnings, he is still some way off achieving billionaire status.
It is worth noting that, while Faiq Bolkiah is the richest footballer in the world, he is not the wealthiest athlete in the world. That title goes to Tiger Woods, who has a net worth of USD 800 million. Woods has earned his wealth through his golfing career, as well as through endorsements and other business ventures.
Overall, it is clear that there are some footballers who have achieved billionaire status. Faiq Bolkiah is the richest footballer in the world, with a net worth of USD 20 billion. Other footballers who have achieved billionaire status include David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. However, the highest-earning footballer of the 2022-2023 season, Kylian Mbappé, is still some way off achieving billionaire status.
