He is wealthy, but how wealthy? Here is the amount of the assets of Olivier Giroud, the striker of the French team.
We know that footballers earn a very good living. But to what extent? Kylian Mbappé has just signed for Real Madrid and his new home in Spain reportedly includes a cinema and mini golf course. But he is not the only player on the French team to have a colossal fortune. Olivier Giroud is also very rich according to estimates.
This Wednesday, June 5, 2024, the Blues face Luxembourg in a preparatory match for the Euro, which will start on June 14 in Germany. After losing the 2022 World Cup final, they hope to make up for it with the continent’s precious trophy. But this would be the striker’s last competition with his compatriots. He should in fact not be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games and end his international career after the tournament. And for good reason, he is joining a new team, and his salary is impressive.

Olivier Giroud: soon a new salary for the footballer
Trained in Grenoble, Olivier Giroud played for prestigious football teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan. World champion in 2018, he is currently the top scorer in the history of the France team. Despite strong criticism received after the ouster of Karim Benzema for his benefit (he returned to these difficult moments in the documentary Giroud for Canal+), he has a great career behind him and is about to take an important turning point.
The 37-year-old athlete will indeed leave Europe to play football in the United States for the Los Angeles FC club. He will join the former captain of the Blues, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. And he will receive a salary of 3 million euros gross per year according to The Team, who estimates his monthly earnings at 250,000 euros. His contract also runs until 2026.

According to Mediamass, Olivier Giroud was one of the highest paid footballers in 2022with revenues estimated at 82 million euros. This includes the player’s salary but also advertising revenue. His fortune included significant real estate assets (including a house in London) and stock market investments. The colleague of Antoine Griezmann (whose wife is a successful entrepreneur) also reportedly owns luxury cars like a Bentley or a Mercedes C63 AMG.
Very religious, the footballer is generous. He is committed and redistributes part of his fortune to charitable associations, such as the Monaco Collectif Humanitaire. Now, his goal is to achieve a great Euro 2024 (why not by improving his goals record) and to finish his great career across the Atlantic with flying colors.
