Alexis Sánchez, Professional Footballer, $50 million

Alexis Sánchez is a Chilean footballer who plays as a striker for the Serie A top club, Inter Milan, and the Chile national team. He has been on loan from Manchester United since August 2019. He is worth $50 million in 2021, a huge fortune compared to his early childhood in Chile.

When Sánchez was born, his father was unemployed, and his mother was a simple horticulturist. The entire burden of raising him eventually fell on his mother after his father left. She worked multiple jobs to provide for their needs, but that couldn’t sustain them with increased living costs, and his uncle had to adopt him as his own.
