Mbappe becomes an investment 'boss'

Not only has Kylian Mbappe stunned the football world with his speed and killer scoring instinct, he is also gradually making his mark in the business world with his bold and different investment thinking.

Unlike many other players who only invest in real estate or restaurants, Mbappe focuses on areas related to youth, technology and future sports .

From tech startups to football clubs, from music to sailing - the striker born in 1998 is painting a portrait of a "LeBron James on the pitch".

Since his time at PSG, Mbappe has shown his ambition far beyond the football pitch. With a salary that once reached 72 million euros per year, he is more than capable of accumulating assets. But instead of just spending or saving, the French star chooses to invest - selectively and with a personal touch.

Unlike many other footballers who invest in real estate or restaurants, Mbappe focuses on areas related to youth, technology and the future of sports. He once refused to promote fast food or bookmakers because he was concerned about the negative impact on young people - and his investments follow the same philosophy: clean, creative and inspiring.

Mbappe invested in Sorare, a French startup known for its blockchain-based digital collectible cards that have opened up a world of virtual football for young fans. He also has a stake in Loewe, a German audio and visual company, tying himself to music, technology and precision.

Notably, Mbappe became a major shareholder of Caen FC - the second-tier team that was almost his first destination. It was not just an investment deal, but also a nod to the values that have been attached to him since childhood.

Not stopping there, Mbappe also founded Zebra Valley - a content production company specializing in sports, games and music. Although the investment capital has not been announced, everyone understands that for Mbappe, image and message are what he pursues, not just money.

According to Forbes, LeBron James is the first NBA player to reach the 1 billion euro mark while still playing. With a clear direction and support from his mother Fayza Lamari and image lawyer Delphine Verheyden, Mbappe can absolutely become the next “football billionaire” - but in a unique way: young, clean, and full of courage.

Although his move to Real Madrid in 2024 will see his salary cut in half, the huge increase in image rights has made up for it. And it's clear that Mbappe is preparing for a future... beyond the pitch.
