French superstar striker Kylian Mbappe will earn a record USD128 million in annual earnings to top the list of the world's highest-paid football players, according to a Friday Forbes magazine report.

The magazine noted Mbappe crossed the USD100 million milestone at age 23 while legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were in their 30s and at the peak of their careers when crossing that money mark for the first time. Mbappe signed a three-year contract extension in May to remain with dominant Ligue 1 side Paris-Saint Germain.
