Roberto Firmino is a Brazilian forward best known for eight years at Liverpool, where he formed a famous front three with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. He won the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020 and scored the winner in the 2019 Club World Cup final. He left for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia in 2023, won the AFC Champions League Elite with them and now plays for Al Sadd in Qatar.
The Sunday Times valued his wealth at £26 million in May 2022, about $34.8 million at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. He was joint 15th on its list of the richest people in the UK aged 30 and under.
How he made his money
Firmino's wealth comes mainly from his wages at Liverpool and earlier at Hoffenheim, plus sponsorship deals. His later moves to Saudi Arabia and Qatar came after the Sunday Times estimate and are 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
Firmino grew up in a poor family in Maceió in north-east Brazil and started his career at Figueirense. He moved to Germany at 19 and spent four and a half seasons at Hoffenheim, where he was named the Bundesliga's breakthrough player in 2014.
At Liverpool he played as a false nine, dropping deep to make space for Salah and Mané, and became a cult hero with the fans. He won the 2019 Copa América with Brazil and played at the 2018 World Cup.
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 Firmino'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 Firmino 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.
