Paul Pogba – $35.5M

Born in Paris, France, to Guinean parents, Paul Pogba was keen on football since he was six years old. His early start facilitated him to grow up and enter the big leagues (“Premier League”). Starting off with “Manchester United,” Pogba later played for “Juventus” between 2012 and 2016 before making a return to Manchester.

Pogba has also been a member of the French national team since 2008, which was when he started playing for the Under 16 team. While Manchester pays him well over $20 million per annum, Pogba’s total earnings for the last year came up to $35.5 million, which probably includes a paycheck from “Amazon Studios” for his documentary.
