Iniesta is considered by many to be one of the finest soccer players in the world. The Spanish midfielder has been at Barcelona FC since 2001, making the main team in 2002. Since then he has built a rep as one of the best play makers in the game. How soccer players make their money is widely known. A combination of salary and endorsements for the most part. Iniesta’s pay packet is in the upper echelons of the sport, so his take home at the end of the week is substantial. His popularity in Spain is immense, and good performances by the club internationally have won him fans all over the globe.
So how much is he worth? Let’s take a look through his financials, see where he came from and how he makes his money.

How Did Andres Iniesta Make His Money & Wealth?
Iniesta is a professional football player at the top of his game. How he makes money is no secret. He has been playing for Barcelona his entire career, and in that time he has led the team to many victories, and more than their fair share of domestic and international trophies. The core of his wealth comes from his weekly wage. I love the fact that football players still have their earnings listed as a weekly wage, as though they are still working class or something. He pulls in $190,000 with Barcelona every week. Not a bad base to start from, but there are also bonuses to consider. The exact amount he gets for goals and assists are not known, but on average you can see $10,000 added to the pay packet for each one. Not much of a surprise considering his skill and popularity.
The second pillar of a soccer players wealth is in endorsements. He has a multi million dollar deal with US sports wear manufacturer Nike, and appears in their advertisements regularly. He is also featured on the cover of the Fifa video game, something I know for certain is more than a bit lucrative.
the final pillar is social media. Iniesta is one of the most followed people on the planet, with 24 million Facebook followers. Add in the Instagram and twitter followers and we are looking at a sizable and leveragable direct audience. I don’t have specific figure for the ad revenue generated here, but I know for a fact that it is a lot. People with far fewer fans earn upwards of $8,000 per day.
