Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has a reported net worth of $24 million, 80 percent of which is controlled by his mother, as was revealed amid the soccer star's divorce from actress Hiba Abouk.
Their short marriage could have ended with him giving up $8.5 million. He managed to hide the fact that nothing was in his name.
Hakimi's estranged wife never realized that his mother was the one making all the purchases, including cars, jewelry, and clothes.
The PSG star received praise from controversial public figure Andrew Tate for finding the loophole to keep his money, but some have also slammed the move.
How much does Achraf Hakimi earn per month?
Hakimi earns about $1 million per month from PSG, where he shares the locker room with the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar but only keeps about 20 percent.
The rest of his paycheck, around $215,000 per week, goes straight into his mother's bank account.
He is the sixth-highest-paid player in Africa and has become extremely popular ever since leading Morocco to the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-finals in Qatar. Hakimi is also best friends with Kylian Mbappe.
His club and country have both shown support for him amid troubling accusations by a woman who claims Hakimi tried to rape her at his home.
