Before the time of the 2022 World Cup final, Kylian Mbappé is one of the most interested names.

After a month of taking place, the 2022 World Cup has also come to the final stage to determine the championship. Tonight – December 18, the final between Argentina and France will officially take place with the appearance of football stars.

Of course in this list is Kylian Mbappé – the player who leads the list of the highest-paid players in the world. In addition, the player also has extremely impressive statements about his income as well as his personality.

In 2018, after winning the World Cup with France, Mbappé received a huge salary and bonus for this victory, about $500,000 (nearly 12 billion VND at current exchange rates). All of this money was donated by the player to a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s charity. Sharing this decision, Mbappé said:

– I don’t need to be paid. I compete to protect the national flag.

– I make enough money – a lot of money. So I think it’s important to help people in need. A lot of people are suffering and for people like us, helping people is no big deal.

At the end of 2018, in an interview with RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse – a Swiss broadcasting unit), Mbappé also expressed clear views on money:

– I was transferred with money that I never imagined as a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. That’s really rude to me, who comes from a fairly modest family. But that’s the transfer market and that’s how the world of football works. I will not make a revolution in football. I’m in a system, I have to respect it and stay in my place. 

Also in this interview, Kylian Mbappé expressed his views on his ambition as well as his personality:

– I don’t want to be anyone else’s copy. Like the greats, you will always want to create your own story, not a copy of someone else’s.

– I think high self-esteem is completely natural, even if you need to be humble in your daily life because that is the strength of great people.

– Laughing is never bad. I always joke, even five minutes before the game. 

– A little 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ish, immature is not bad. There’s so much pressure in football that a little play or fun won’t make any difference in this environment.

At the end of 2021, Mbappé once again shared his thoughts on money with RMC Sport (French sports news site). At this time, the player has not renewed his contract with Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) and is being strongly interested by Real Madrid:

– Life experience is more important than making money.

– I have a ‘silent’ relationship with money: I know it’s important, I’m happy to have it, but it’s not what drives me every second of the day.

According to Edudwar.com, Kylian Mbappé has an estimated net worth of nearly $150 million. Total annual income is $43 million, according to Forbes. According to Forbes, for the 2022-2023 season alone, the player’s pre-tax income is $128 million.

Most recently, at the 2022 World Cup, Mbappé continued to make stormy statements. According to the regulations of the 2022 World Cup, the player receiving the title of “Player of the Match” will have to attend a press conference with the media after the match. If a player violates the rules, FIFA will penalize that player’s national team.

In the group stage, Kylian Mbappé was awarded this title in 2 matches against France against Denmark and Australia. However, the player did not attend both of these press conferences. Before the news that the French Football Federation (FFF) had to pay a fine for its actions, Mbappé said:

– I recently learned that the French Football Federation (FFF) will be fined. Just let me pay the fine to FIFA. The FFF is not responsible for an individual mistake.

– I know there are many questions why I am always silent. Simply because I just want to focus on the tournament and express myself. I need to be 100% focused and not give my mind to anything else.
