Kylian Mbappé,?? ??? one of the (very young) soccer players on team France who took home the 2018 World Cup trophy on Sunday, will celebrate his victory in a special way.

And it's a lotof money. According to Sports Illustrated, the 19-year-old earns up to £17,000 (approximately $22,537) per game — and because of their win, he could be headed back to France with an additional £265,000 bonus (about $351,316).
He was already a star before his incredible performance in the finals, but these money moves have earned Mbappé more fans than ever.
