How Much Would These Famous Footballers Be Worth in Commodities?

Everyone knows that footballers around the world enjoy some of the most generous wages, with many living luxurious lifestyles. These are usually spent on large houses, expensive cars and various other items.Have you ever wonderedhow much a footballer’s net worth might be if it were converted into regular tradingcommodities?

For those who want an answer to this unusual question, here are some well knownArabian footballers and what their net worth would be in different commodities.*

Riyad Mahrez

This Algerian legend currently plays for English football club Leicester City, and is enjoying a successful career as a footballer. His net worth has been put at $31.6 million, meaning he is one of the most valuable Arabian footballers in the world.

If Mahrez’snet worth were converted into barrels of oil (Brent Crude), it would work out as 535449.42 barrels, since Brent Crude is currently trading at $67.42 per barrel. It is fair to say that he wouldn’t run out of oil any time soon if he decided to stockpile.

Islam Slimani

Another talented Algerian footballer, Islam Slimani is also used to be a star of the English football club Leicester City, having previously played for Portugese team FC Porto, and currently playing for Newcastle United. He is valued at a very healthy $26.9 million, and occupies the position of striker when on the field.

If Slimani’s worth were to be converted into cotton, he would be valued at roughly 1793333kg, given that the popular commodity is currently trading at 1.5 dollars per kilogram. That is probably more cotton than anyone could ever wish for.

Mahdi Benatia

Originally hailing from Morocco, Mahdi Benatia is a celebrated Arabian footballer who plays for Juventus in Italy, having previously played for the famous German team Bayern Munich. The player has been valued at $15.9 million, a number which is sure to grow in the coming years.

If he decided to convert his wealth into coffee supplies, he would be worth 567857kg of the popular drink (given that it is currently worth $2.8 per kg), enough to keep him awake for many lifetimes.

Mohamad Salah

Originally from Egypt, Mohamad Salah made a name for himself at Italian club AS Roma before moving to Liverpool. This well known footballer is well paid for his talents, with a net worth of around $31.6 million, equal to that of Mahrez.

Mahrez could use this money to buy ample amounts of one of the world’s most popular commodities; gold. He would be able to purchase around 743kg of the precious metal, as gold is currently worth $42520per kg. Whilst this seems like a smaller number, it is worth remembering just how heavy gold is compared to the other commodities, and also how much rarer.

So, it is fair to say that these talented Arabian footballers could buy up a good amount of the world’s tradeable commodities. Whilst they are unlikely to invest their money in such large quantities of items, it certainly puts into perspective just how wealthy they are. With many still in the fairly early stages of their career, it will be interesting to see how many of the world’s commodities they can afford in the years to come.
