Mbappé and His Vast Fortune Outside of Soccer: The Frenchman is a Business Tycoon

The French forward has businesses outside his professional field, and his business culture is compared to the American one

Kylian Mbappé not only shines in soccer. Off the field, the Real Madrid forward has built a diversified and constantly growing business empire.

Businesses in Different Sectors

The player holds stakes in innovative sectors. From a second division soccer team to an electronics equipment company. He has also invested in a virtual trading card startup and recently in a sailing team.

According to Forbes, LeBron James reached 1 billion euros in 2022, combining salary, image rights, and investments. Mbappé could follow a similar path.

Mbappé manages his businesses with the advice of his mother, Fayza Lamari, and lawyer Delphine Verheyden. His investment strategy reflects his values and principles.

In 2022, he refused to participate in advertising campaigns for gambling and fast food, arguing their negative impact on youth. He applies the same logic to his investments.

Betting on Technology and Sports

The forward has invested in Sorare, a digital trading card platform based on cryptocurrencies. He has also acquired a 10% stake in the audiovisual company Loewe, connecting his image with technology and German precision.

Additionally, he bought the majority stake in Caen, a Ligue 2 team, where he might have played in his youth.

Zebra Valley and His Bet on Audiovisual Production

Two years ago, Mbappé launched Zebra Valley, his own production and distribution company. His goal is to connect with the world of sports, video games, and music.

The exact figures of his investments have not been disclosed. However, according to experts, Mbappé prioritizes his image and market positioning over immediate profitability.

With his contract at PSG in 2022, the player earned 72 million euros gross per year. His signing with Real Madrid in 2024 halved his salary but increased his income from image rights.

Mbappé is not only a soccer icon but also a magnate with a secure financial future.
