Soccer players are some of the wealthiest sports stars in the world. Not all that surprising, considering the game is player world wide, and the kind of investors it has been attracting this last decade or so. Paul Pogba is a young French midfielder currently playing for the world famous Manchester United. The team has been having a few set backs since Sir Alex Ferguson left the side a number of years ago, but it is still one of the most profitable teams in the world, and their players are paid higher than most other firms. Paul made the move to United last year, and has put in a respectable performance. Over 25 appearances he has scored five times, but he’s a midfielder, so set ups are more important in terms of judging skill. With over 2000 hours on the pitch for United, his five goals and four assists is looking a little meager. It will be interesting to see if he can justify the highest ever transfer fee on record, $116.4 million.
So let’s see how much he’s worth, and where all that sweet money is coming from.

How Did Paul Pogba Make His Money & Wealth?
Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, Seine-et-Marne in France. His older brothers are also professional soccer players, with the eldest playing for the Guinea national side, in the same way that Pogba plays for France. In 2009 he moved to England to join the Manchester United Youth Academy. He trained with them for a number of years, before moving to the senior squad for the 2011-2012 season. It is likely that he was placed here in order to increase his value, and he was sold to Juventus not long after. He played for Juventus for four seasons. He was transferred back to United last year, for a record breaking $116 million, breaking the record set for the transfer of Gareth Bale, who I wrote about just yesterday.
Now to where he is making his money. He pulls in $360,000 from his contract with Manchester United. There was a $5 million bonus paid for his transfer as well, and a percentage of that went into Paul’s pockets. Then there are the endorsement deals, he has a back room deal with Adidas, the shoe and apparel company, said to be worth $31 million, but it is clear that that is over time. The last avenue is social media. It is not known at this time if Pogba has been leveraging his sizable social media audience, but it is safe to assume he is. One of the first things successful soccer players do is hire a finance manager, and at this stage, considering the wealth mad in only a few short year, Pogba likely has a portfolio worth quite a bit of cash somewhere, but that is speculation.
