Riyad Mahrez — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Riyad Mahrez has an estimated net worth of $40 million as of 2026, having retired from professional football in 2024 following a career bookended by two extraordinary moments — the greatest league title upset in football history and a Champions League triumph. The Sarcelles-born Algerian was a core member of the Leicester City squad that won the Premier League at 5000-1 odds in 2015-16, winning the PFA Players' Player of the Year award for his contributions to one of sport's most improbable championships. He subsequently joined Manchester City where he won four Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League as part of the treble-winning season.
His final playing years at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia earned him a significant salary boost before retirement. He led Algeria to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations title. His technical ability — particularly his dribbling in tight spaces and ability to cut inside from the right wing — was among the most aesthetically appreciated in English football during his Leicester peak. At 35, he retired having fulfilled the enormous potential that Leicester's scouts identified when signing him for just £400,000 from Le Havre in 2014.
