What is Pele’s net worth?
PELE goes down as one of the greatest players of all time along with the likes of Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Brazilian, who was born in 1940, made his name playing for Santos in his home country.
His incredible goal-scoring record saw him net 77 in 92 appearances for Brazil across a 14-year period playing for the national team.
During this time he lifted an incredible three World Cups, showing just how much he was worth to Brazil.
But here at SunSport, we have all the information on just how much he is worth off the pitch.
What is Pele’s net worth?
During the peak of his career, Pele was the highest-paid athlete in the world and holds many records
Scoring 1,297 goals across his career, he remains the highest goal scorer of all time after breaking through at just the age of 15.
His reported net worth is $100million, the equivalent of £83million, as claimed by Forbes.
While this is nowhere near the likes of Ronaldo and Messi, it is key to remember that Pele played in a different generation without the bumper contracts and sponsorship deals of the 21st century.
He was also the Minister of Sports for Brazil after his playing career and was a true icon for football in South America.
Pele’s businesses reportedly earned him around $10m or £8.3m per year after his playing days were over, with his net worth rising to $100m or £83m in 2022.
