Vinicius is getting richer

The owner of The Best 2024 title has many sponsors – only behind Neymar in Brazil.

According to Forbes, as of November this year, Vinicius owns an estimated fortune of 55 million USD. He is playing for the reigning Champions League champion Real Madrid. With a salary of about 415,000 USD/week, Vinicius is the third highest-paid player at the club after David Alaba and Kylian Mbappe.

 

Vinicius’ contract runs until June 2027 and is likely to be extended in the future. With this impressive income, Vinicius earns about 21 million USD per year, excluding bonuses, image rights and sponsorship contracts. Vinicius’ contract release clause at the Bernabeu is more than 1 billion USD.

When he won The Best 2024 award a few days ago, Vinicius became the “golden boy” in the eyes of global brands, especially in Brazil. Samba media estimated that Vinicius has up to 11 contracts with companies in various fields such as telecommunications, cosmetics, video games and soft drinks. This number is only lower than Neymar (14).

Marca commented that Vinicius’ influence at this time is even more outstanding than his senior who is playing at Al Hilal.

Frederico Pena, CEO of Roc Nation Sports Brazil, said: “Despite his young age, Vinicius has already established himself at the biggest club in the world and is an important member of the national team. He is a hero and has won the Champions League twice. Vini has become a model of resilience and success in the sports world for many Brazilian fans. Moreover, he does not hesitate to speak out on social issues, which makes the number of brands wanting to cooperate with Vini increase.”

According to Pena, Vinicius has almost created his own company, with a professional management system including a CEO, a CFO and management, legal, commercial, marketing and communication departments.

Ivan Martinho, Professor of Sports Marketing at ESPM, analyzed: “After Neymar, Vinicius has built a great influence in all aspects, from the Brazilian national team to Real Madrid. He also has a strong voice in the current sports world in the against.”

Vinicius is at the peak of his career. He is certainly a key factor in Real Madrid’s journey to defend both La Liga and Champions League titles this season.
