Ronaldo leads, Messi follows. Learn the richest players in the World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo tops the list of the richest footballers participating in the 2026 World Cup, followed by Lionel Messi and Neymar.

The Portuguese holds first place with an estimated fortune of 1.2 billion euros, while Messi ranks second with 868 million euros and Neymar third with 391 million euros.

The ranking of the ten players with the highest income in the tournament is as follows:

Cristiano Ronaldo – 1.2 billion euros

Lionel Messi – 868 million euros

Neymar – 391 million euros

Kylian Mbappe – 218 million euros

Harry Kane – €129 million

Mohamed Salah – 122 million euros

Son Heung-min – 87 million euros

Riyad Mahrez – 74 million euros

Erling Haaland – 69 million euros

James Rodriguez – 69 million euros

Haaland's ranking in the bottom ten proves that the age factor and the length of marketing contracts play a key role in the accumulation of wealth, regardless of the player's current value on the transfer market.
