Christian Pulisic is an American soccer player, nicknamed "Captain America", and one of the best North American players of all time. Raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania, he broke into Borussia Dortmund's first team at 17, moved to Chelsea in 2019 in a deal worth $73 million and won the Champions League with them in 2021. Since 2023 he has played for AC Milan.
The Sunday Times valued his wealth at £11 million in May 2022, about $14.7 million at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. He was joint 30th among the 34 footballers on its list of the richest people in the UK aged 30 and under.
How he made his money
Pulisic's wealth comes mainly from his wages at Dortmund and Chelsea, plus sponsorship deals, which are valuable for the face of the US national team. His move to AC Milan came after the Sunday Times estimate and is not reflected in it.
The reports we checked on the 2022 list did not break down his fortune, so this page gives only the headline figure.
Career at a glance
Pulisic joined Dortmund's academy as a teenager and became the youngest player at the time to score twice in Bundesliga history. He won the German Cup in 2017 and was runner-up for the Kopa Trophy, for the best young player in the world, in 2018.
He is the all-time top American scorer and assist provider in Europe's top five leagues and in the Champions League, and he has been a leader of the US national team for a decade.
About this estimate
The Sunday Times publishes its Rich List every spring, along with a list of the 100 richest people in the UK aged 30 and under. The May 2022 edition included 34 footballers, and the Daily Star printed all of them with their figures. It valued Pulisic's wealth at the amount shown on this page. The paper bases its numbers on identifiable wealth such as earnings after tax, property and company stakes, not on salary alone.
This is the most recent Sunday Times figure for Pulisic that we could find. It has not been updated since 2022, so his wealth today is likely different. We show the figure as published, in pounds, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. Transfer fees and wages mentioned on this page are club spending or earnings, not wealth.
