Where the money comes from
| Rank | 9th on the Sunday Times young sport rich list in May 2022, the top Liverpool player (Mirror, Daily Star) The Mirror |
Mohamed Salah is an Egyptian winger and the captain of Egypt's national team. After spells at Basel, Chelsea, Fiorentina and Roma he joined Liverpool in 2017 and became one of the Premier League's most prolific scorers, winning the Champions League in 2019 and the league in 2020 and 2025. He joined Trabzonspor in Turkey in 2026.
The Sunday Times valued his wealth at £41 million in May 2022, about $54 million at the October 28, 2026 exchange rate. He was 9th on its list of young British-based sports stars and the highest-placed Liverpool player.
How he made his money
Salah's fortune comes from wages at Liverpool and from sponsorships built on his fame in Egypt and across the Arab world. The reports we checked on the 2022 list did not give a breakdown of his wealth.
He signed new contracts with Liverpool after the list was published. Those deals are not reflected in the £41 million estimate.
Career at a glance
Salah began at El Mokawloon in Cairo and moved to Basel in Switzerland in 2012. Chelsea signed him in 2014, but he made his name in Italy with Fiorentina and Roma before Liverpool brought him back to England in 2017.
In his first Liverpool season he set a scoring record for a 38-game Premier League season, and he went on to win the Golden Boot several times. He is Egypt's captain and one of the most famous athletes in the Arab world.
About this estimate
The Sunday Times publishes its Rich List every spring, and alongside it a ranking of the wealthiest young people in British sport. The 2022 edition, published in May 2022, valued Salah's wealth at the figure 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 Salah that we could find. The estimate 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 28, 2026 exchange rate. Weekly wages and transfer fees mentioned on this page are earnings or club spending, not wealth.
