It can be said that Kylian Mbappe is the most sought after player in the world at the moment. In the 2023 Summer transfer window, after rumors of a rift between the 24-year-old striker and Paris Saint-Germain arose, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal Club made an unprecedented offer worth 300 million euros, accompanied by Salary of 700 million euros for Mbappe. But the deal fell through because he did not want to “grow old” early.
Or back a year ago, PSG had to put on the negotiating table a huge contract to retain the striker born in 1998 until June 2025. Accordingly, after renewing with the French Rich Man, Mbappe will receive a salary of 1.5 million euros/week (equivalent to 100 million euros/year after tax), along with a kickback of 300 million euros. This number made Mbappe the highest paid player in the world at that time.
Mbappe was born into a family with a sporting tradition. Kylian’s father – Mr. Wilfried Mbappe is a soccer coach, and his mother – Ms. Fayza Lamari is a handball player. Inheriting his parents’ superior athletic genes, it is easy to understand that Mbappe has a superior technical and physical foundation than many other players.
But that’s not the only factor. He also has a burning passion for the king sport and a serious and professional training spirit. Mbappe was born on December 20, 1998 in an immigrant family, so he had an incomplete childhood.

Since he was a child, the French striker has shown a strong love for football. In his room, which is only a few square meters, Mbappe is filled with pictures of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mbappe turns every surrounding space into a training venue, even the living room in the house. He often plays soccer in the house until his mother returns. At this time, he will hide in the bedroom and pretend that he is sleeping.
When Mbappe got older, he began to be trained directly by his father, who was then the coach of AS Bondy Club, with the help of his adoptive brother Jires Kembo. Thanks to his natural talent, Mbappe quickly caught the eye of the famous training facility Clairefontaine – the place that produces many famous players of French football.
Here, Mbappe’s talent was gradually honed and perfected.

Henry, then went on to break the record for the youngest player in history to score for Monaco, at the age of 17 years and 62 days. The result of these superb performances was his first professional contract in March 2016.

He scored 26 goals in all competitions, thereby helping Monaco win Ligue 1 after 17 years of waiting, along with reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Mbappe quickly caught the eye of PSG. And from here, his life turned to a new page.
In addition to the huge salary and bonuses since joining PSG, he is also sought after in the fashion industry with valuable advertising contracts with big brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Hublot. According to statistics, each year Mbappe pockets an additional 18 million USD thanks to these lucrative contracts.
With such a terrible income, it is understandable that Mbappe can enjoy the most luxurious amenities. No longer an unstable slum, Mbappe is now living in the most luxurious Penthouse in Paris. The house is about 600 square meters with a total of 12 bedrooms and a direct view of the Eiffel Tower.
In his house, the 24-year-old striker has set aside a large space to satisfy his passion for shoes.

In addition, inside the house is also equipped with a gym, swimming pool,… so that its owner can rest in the most comfortable way after stressful training sessions and matches.
