Despite being one of the most expensive footballers in the world, Kylian Mbappé maintains tight financial habits and a unique perspective on wealth. The French striker, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national football team, has a net worth estimated at nearly $150 million.

However, Mbappé himself has never bragged about his fortune. According to his mother, Fayza Lamari, he never carries a credit card or cash with him and is not driven by money. When asked about his financial discipline, Mbappé’s mother said, “He never minds. He just goes out and plays football. I always advise him to enjoy what he can in this world, but always remember it’s not all his.”

Mbappé and his family have a “poor man’s syndrome,” and when he first earned money, they saved it for three years. They only started investing a year ago, and although they feel lucky to have money, it is not their end goal. Mbappé’s motivation in playing football lies beyond monetary gains; he values experiences, relationships, and understanding different cultures much more than money.

In an interview with Paris Match, Mbappé emphasized that life experiences are the most meaningful things, and relationships between people are more important than wealth. He yearns for new discoveries, trips, meetings with players, and understanding diverse cultures. Mbappé has a “silent” relationship with money, recognizing its importance but not allowing it to drive him every second of the day.

Mbappé’s unique perspective on wealth and focus on experiences over material possessions set him apart from many other footballers, making him not just an extraordinary player but also a grounded and humble individual.
