Kylian Mbappé’s decision to turn down a staggering $776 million offer from Al Hilal to play in Saudi Arabia for one year has sent shockwaves through the footballing world. Let’s break down how much money he rejected based on different timeframes:
1. One Year: $776 million
Kylian Mbappé declined the jaw-dropping offer of $776 million for just one year of playing in Saudi Arabia. This astronomical sum would have made him one of the highest-paid athletes in history for a single season.
2. Monthly: ~$64.7 million
If we divide the total offer by 12 months (one year), Mbappé would have earned approximately $64.7 million per month during his stint with Al Hilal. That’s a mind-boggling monthly paycheck.
3. Weekly: ~$14.9 million
Breaking it down further, on a weekly basis, Kylian Mbappé would have been earning approximately $14.9 million. That’s an astonishing amount for just seven days of play.
4. Daily: ~$2.1 million
On a daily basis, the rejected offer would have translated to around $2.1 million. Imagine waking up every morning knowing you earned more than $2 million that day.
5. Hourly: ~$88,000
Even breaking it down to an hourly rate is almost incomprehensible. Mbappé’s refusal meant turning down around $88,000 for each hour he would have spent on the field in Saudi Arabia.
