25 Million Euros (29.6 Million Dollars)
An Arsène Wenger import to Europe, this Liberian striker has represented some big-name clubs in the continent. A true legend from Africa, he has won first-division titles, in France and Italy, with PSG and AC Milan, respectively. His career also took him to England, where he won the FA Cup with Chelsea.
This striker was a potent finisher but was equally adept at creating goals for his teammates. An eighteen-year career saw him score over 200 goals for club and country. His net worth, according to our calculations, is about 25 Million Euros. This is just from his football career.

Iconic Moments
Let's Pledge Against Corruption
His campaign to victory saw him make a promise to fight against corruption and poverty in Liberia. His party is the CDC or Congress for Democratic Change. His supporters backed him to the fullest, but his lack of formal education was cited as a reason to not trust his assurances. (Image: imgur.com)
Bad to Worse
He was elected President in 2017, but his time has seen the country slip from its already precarious situation to the pits of doom. It hasn't been a long while, but the Liberians have a case in point. His lack of experience and formal education has shown his inability to lead a country. He shouldn't be making things worse and should consider doing what's best for his countrymen. (Image: imgur.com)
Dare To Come Near Me?
Seen enjoying a game of footy, the President has his way now. But it wasn't like that always. He has made big sacrifices to get where he is now. Some of those have been ugly too. It was a dark time in Liberia back then in 1996. He dared to speak against the country's leader then. As a backlash, his cousins were raped, and his house was set on fire. He could have had political ambitions back then, or maybe it was this incident that forced him to think about the option. We won't know, but the man and his family have endured some bad things. When are people going to understand that rape is not and should never be used as a weapon? (Image: imgur.com)
