How rich is Nasser Al-Khelaïfi: the assets and earnings of the Qatari sheikh president of PSG, a club in which he invested a river of money, bringing it to the elite of world football.
We started talking about Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s wealth in Europe in 2011, the year in which this sheik, unknown to most, became the owner of Paris Saint-Germain for a paltry 70 million euros.
At the time, Psg was a prestigious team, but with few trophies in its cabinet; the arrival of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi - and his money - made the Parisians true dominators in their homeland and protagonists in Europe too.
So far, this Qatari sheik has invested almost 2 billion euros in PSG in transfers, but according to the Financial Times the club is now valued at 4 billion, double.
In recent years, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has also taken a great interest in the political side of football, reaching the helm of the ECA - the European Club Association - by virtue of his immediate opposition to the Super League project. Furthermore, the World Cup to Qatar held in the winter of 2022 was certainly not awarded by chance.
However, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is not only the owner of PSG, but also a former professional tennis player and above all the president of the sovereign fund Qatar Investment Authority which has a portfolio of 60 billion dollars.
It should not be forgotten that he is also the head of beIN Media Group, an important sports television broadcaster which holds the broadcasting rights in numerous countries.
Let’s see how much money does Nasser Al-Khelaïfi have, taking a look at the assets and earnings of one of the most influential figures in the world of football and sports media.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s assets
When rankings of the richest people in the world are drawn up, sheikhs rarely appear: despite their extra-large wallets, it is not easy to establish the real consistency of their assets.
Even Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is no exception to this rule, but since he acquired PSG , like the Russian Roman Abramovich, he has revolutionized the world of football, turning it into a business capable of consolidating sports, business and even politics.
Despite the substantial air of mystery that hovers over his wealth, according to Forbes, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s assets would be 6.2 billion dollars.
A figure that is not exorbitant if we consider how much he invested in the Parisian club, 1.8 billion euros just to buy the players’ registrations, but this sheikh can count on the almost unlimited assets of the various sovereign funds of Qatar.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s earnings
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s main sources of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s income come from his top roles at beIN Media Group, Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) and PSG.
There is no official public data on Al-Khelaïfi’s specific salary as president of PSG. However, estimates indicate that his total annual earnings, considering all his roles, are between 15 and 25 million euros.
Furthermore, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi owns large shares in the British international bank Barclays, in the multinational Royal Dutch Shell plc, better known by its abbreviation Shell; but there is no shortage of shares in Harrods, the luxury department store in London, in Volkswagen and even in Walt Disney.
Finally, through beIN Media Group, he acquired the film studio Miramax, thus proving to be particularly active in cinema as well as in sport.
Who is Nasser Ghanim Al-Khelaïfi, the biography
Born in 1973, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is an entrepreneur, one of the richest sports managers in the world, a politician, a former tennis player and, to top it all off, he is also president of Paris Saint-Germain and the European Club Association (ECA), of which he is a representative on the UEFA Executive Committee.
Born in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on November 12, 1973, he began his career in 1992, making his debut as a professional tennis player, which ended in 2003.
At the moment, however, he is president of the Qatari Tennis Federation (QTF) and vice president of the Asian Tennis Federation (ATF), still demonstrating his passion for the racket.
Since 2021, Al-Khelaïfi has led the ECA, the association that represents European football clubs, further strengthening his influence in the international football scene, so much so that he has also become a member of the UEFA Executive Committee.
In 2013, he was appointed minister without portfolio by the Qatari government, recognizing his contribution to national interests, especially in the sports sector.
As for his private life, there is very little information. According to some sources, he is married and has four children who reside in Qatar.
Other sources suggest that he is single and divides his time between residences in Paris and Doha, with this discrepancy resulting from Al-Khelaïfi’s desire to protect his privacy, making it difficult to confirm specific details about his family life.
