Kylian Mbappe needs millions to beat Michael Jordan. After his latest deal, the footballer enjoys his status of being one of the players who have amassed a great net worth. However, despite becoming one of Europe’s highest-paid footballers, he still surprisingly faces a substantial gap to catch up to Jordan’s financial prowess. The player needs around $17 million more to bridge the gap.
After many rumors, it was revealed that the player would finally exit the French club, Paris Saint Germain to join the Spanish Champions. The 25-year-old player is all set to join Real Madrid on July 1.

The 25-year-old football player has recently signed a lucrative five-year deal. Despite getting a notable pay cut, he will continue to be one of the highest-paid footballers. He will receive €15 million per season, accompanied by a staggering €150 million signing-on bonus spread over the contract’s duration.
Despite these astronomical figures, the player is nowhere close to matching the Chicago Bulls legend, Jordan. After his transfer, Mbappe is rumored to get around $45 million in Real Madrid which pales in comparison to the 6x champion’s salary during the end of his career. Back in the 1997-1998 NBA season, Jordan earned a remarkable $33,140,000, which, adjusted for inflation, would equate to an astounding $62,032,590. Here is an X post that compares his salary with NBA player Domantas Sabonis.
