Andrés Iniesta is one of the finest midfielders of the modern game and the man who scored the goal that won Spain its only World Cup, in extra time of the 2010 final against the Netherlands. Born in Fuentealbilla in the province of Albacete, he joined Barcelona's La Masia academy at 12 and spent 22 years at the club, winning four Champions League titles and nine La Liga titles alongside Xavi and Lionel Messi.
In 2018 he moved to Japan to play for Vissel Kobe, then had a season in the United Arab Emirates with Emirates Club before retiring in October 2024. With Spain he also won Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. Forbes España put his fortune at €100 million in its 2023 table, down from €125 million, and kept him at €100 million in November 2024, level with Sergio Ramos, according to El Confidencial. That is about $111 million at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate.
How he made his money
Iniesta was among Barcelona's best-paid players for more than a decade, and his move to Vissel Kobe in 2018 came with one of the biggest contracts in the history of Japanese football. Sponsorships with sportswear and consumer brands added to his income.
He also has businesses of his own, including the family winery, Bodega Iniesta, in his home village of Fuentealbilla. Forbes España's estimates fell from €125 million in 2022 to €100 million in 2023 and stayed there in 2024; the magazine did not publish a breakdown.
About this estimate
Forbes España, the Spanish edition of Forbes, publishes its list of the 100 richest Spaniards every autumn, together with a look at the fortunes in Spanish sport. No Spanish athlete is rich enough to make that top 100, so the magazine lists the leading sports fortunes separately, with its own estimate of what each person owns.
The figures are Forbes España's estimates of net worth, not income, and they are rounded to the nearest million euros. We show each one as published, in euros, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate, and link every number to its source. Contracts and prize money mentioned on this page are earnings, not wealth.
