Gregor Kobel is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and the Switzerland national team. Born on December 6, 1997, he has been Switzerland's starting goalkeeper since Yann Sommer retired from the national team.

Bilanz, the Swiss business magazine, put his fortune at CHF 10–20 million in its 2026 ranking of the 100 richest people in Switzerland under 40, published on April 28, 2026. That is about $12 million to $24 million at the November 6, 2026 exchange rate. Bilanz prints fortunes as ranges, not single numbers, so we show the range exactly as published.

How the estimate works

Bilanz publishes a yearly list of the 100 richest young people in Switzerland, mixing entrepreneurs, heirs and a handful of stars. Kobel is one of the sportspeople on the 2026 list, with an estimated fortune of CHF 10–20 million. The magazine's own research and estimates, not tax records or official filings, are behind the number.

The ranking counts people who hold a Swiss passport or live in Switzerland, even if they play abroad, and fortunes are shown in Swiss francs in bands such as 10 to 20 million or 20 to 50 million. We use the low end of the band only to sort Kobel against other athletes on this site, and we never show a single made-up figure.

Career at a glance

Kobel made his professional debut for TSG Hoffenheim on August 12, 2018 in a DFB-Pokal win at Rot-Weiß Erfurt. He was loaned to VfB Stuttgart for 2019–20 and moved there permanently on July 28, 2020 on a contract to June 2024.

On May 31, 2021 he signed a five-year deal with Borussia Dortmund, with VfB Stuttgart receiving a transfer fee of €15 million. On October 5, 2023 he signed a new long-term contract valid until June 2028. In the 2023–24 Champions League he helped Dortmund reach the final, becoming the first Swiss goalkeeper to do so, and was named in the competition's Team of the Season.

Kobel debuted for Switzerland on September 1, 2021 in a friendly against Greece, was in the squad at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup, and became the first-choice goalkeeper after Sommer's retirement from the national team.
