Alexandre Pato ($145 million) is ranked fifth.
Pato is a Brazilian forward who plays for Orlando City. He made his Internacional debut in 2006, when he was 16 years old.
Despite playing against older and more experienced players, he emerged as the top scorer and even defeated Gremio 4-0. He was named to the Internacional squad as a result of his victory.
The team went on to win the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He joined AC Milan after the World Cup. He won the Golden Boy Award after scoring 18 goals in 42 games.
He played on loan for Chelsea in 2016. After that, he played for a number of other clubs before joining Orlando City in 2021.
4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic ($190,000,000)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a Swedish forward for the LA Galaxy. He is known for his precise striking ability, which has made him a prolific goal scorer.
According to Sports Adda, he is the world's third-most decorated player. He made his major league debut in 2002 with Ajax. In 2004, he was named 'Goal of the Tournament' after scoring five goals for the club.
Zlatan then switched clubs before settling with Manchester United in 2016.
3. Neymar Jr. (200 million dollars)
Neymar began playing soccer on the streets of Brazil before breaking into the professional ranks in 2009. He joined Santos FC in 2009 and quickly established himself as a valuable scorer.
As a result, he was in high demand by many clubs. Neymar stayed at Santos because the salary was higher than what other clubs were willing to offer him. Finally, in 2013, he joined Barcelona and scored 39 goals, much to everyone's surprise.
Lionel Messi ($400 million) comes in second.
Messi is admired for his ability to dribble the ball past opponents as well as his goal-scoring records. He, like Cristiano, began his professional career at the age of 16 when he joined FC Barcelona.
Later in his career, he would lead Barcelona to the Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, and La Liga titles. As a result, he went on to become Barcelona's all-time leading scorer.
Though Messi fans may disagree, he is widely regarded as the greatest player of all time. He currently plays for Juventus as well as the Portugal national team.
His professional career began when he was only 16 years old. He was signed for $12 million to play for Manchester United at the time. He was a midfielder, and his abilities improved as he played for other teams.
Faiq Bolkiah ($20 billion) is the richest person in the world.
Few people would name Faiq as the richest soccer player if you asked the average soccer fan. Most people will think of Cristiano or Lionel Messi. He is currently the soccer player with the highest net worth in the world.
His fortune is not entirely derived from soccer. For example, his uncle is the Sultan of Brenei, so it's easy to see why he's wealthy. He is currently the Chonburi midfielder and the Brunei National Team captain. He began his career with Southampton FC in 2009.
He stayed with the club until 2011. He signed a two-year contract with Chelsea in 2014. He had previously played for Reading and Arsenal before joining Chelsea.
