Neymar – $95M

If you are confused about what career path to choose, professional football might be the way to go. Why? Because paychecks of talented and successful players come in eight-figure sums, and no one says no to truckloads of cash. The Brazilian star footballer Neymar made $95 million in a year, which is more than most people would in a lifetime.

Neymar is worth $200 million, which surely is an impressive figure for someone still in their 20s. Playing forward for “Paris Saint-Germain,” Neymar renewed his contract with the club in May 2021. His fixed salary, performance bonuses, and endorsement deals are only his main income sources.
