MOHAMED SALAH—$80 MILLION

Egyptian professional football player, Mohamed Salah, who plays the forward position for Liverpool, and who is widely regarded as one of the best football players in the world today, has an estimated net worth of $80 million. Salah seemed destined to be a football player at a young age and was said to have sacrificed everything–even his studies–for football. Indeed, his parents wanted him to have a normal career. But he loved football so much that he often clashed with them about his future.

It’s a good thing that Salah pursued his dreams, because he is, to his credit, one of the wealthiest football players today. Mohamed Salah was born on 15 June 1992 in Nagrig, Basyoun, Egypt. Mohamed grew up in a Muslim family with his brother Nasr. Salah, who took football seriously at the age of seven, grew up watching the Champions League on TV. Mohamed Salah married his wife Maggi in 2013. A year after marriage, the couple ushered in their first child. In 2020, Salah has a second child.
