Thanks to his extraordinary skills and financial sense, Victor Osimhen has become well-known in the worlds of sports and business. He is a key player for the Nigerian national team and the star forward for Napoli Football Club.

Osimhen's excellent performance on and off the pitch, as well as his financial intelligence and discretion, are shown by his net worth exceeding $9 million in 2025. From those of a teenage street player in Nigeria to those of a superstar in the top divisions of Europe, Osimhen's wage and income have developed significantly over the years. 

By means of investments, off-field endorsement deals, on-field performance, and other sources of revenue, this young athlete has accumulated a sizable fortune.

We will closely examine Osimhen's financial condition in this piece, covering his salary, professional income path, endorsement and sponsorship partnerships, firm investments, real estate investments, luxury car investments, etc. 

Salary and total earnings

Victor Osimhen has seen a consistent rise in income over his short career. Since the Nigerian arrived at Standard Liège, Belgium, in 2017, his riches have dramatically skyrocketed. Switching to Napoli, Italy, marked a turning point in his career. 

When he joined Napoli, Osimhen became one of the most expensive players in African football history with a transfer fee of €70 million. Osimhen's annual pay grew €4.5 million as he signed a four-year contract with Napoli. 

Osimhen's contract boasts a rich bonus scheme based on his goal-scoring, match performance, and Napoli's European competition results. For each goal milestone he meets—that is, whether he scores 20, 25, or 30 goals in a season—he can obtain additional bonuses. 

Personal image sponsorships greatly supplement Osimhen's income, which is already strong from his fixed pay and match incentives. 

His agreement with Napoli is mostly based on the clause allowing the team to use his image in advertising, thus granting them rights. In that way, only Napoli can profit from Osimhen's popularity. Nobody else can. 

Osimhen's contract also includes additional income from brand alliances and commercial sponsors, therefore augmenting his overall yearly salary. 

Napoli renewed Osimhen's contract until 2026 in 2023. With a net income of 11 million euros, Osimhen's annual salary greatly rose with the renewal, becoming one of the highest in Serie A. 

His contract further specifies extra benefits: 

  1. A UEFA Champions League group stage's prize fund comes to 260,000 euros.
  2. An incentive system set in line with the season-wide goal count. For 20, 25, or 30 goals, correspondingly, a bonus of 130,000 euros will be accrued. 

Following a falling out with the Italian team and a failed transfer to Chelsea, Napoli loaned Osimhen to Galatasaray in 2024. 

Galatasaray will pay €6 million of his salary throughout the loan term. He also signed a new contract, therefore extending his stay at Naples until June 30, 2027, before leaving the Serie A team. 

In a nutshell, Victor Osimhen's current salary is €190,300 per week (€9.8m annually), a reduction from his €12.8m annual pay. He agreed to reduce his salary in 2024 for Napoli to insert a lower release clause in his contract after a well-publicised failed move to Chelsea.

Included in the contract is an 80 million euro buyout clause, allowing Napoli to sell him across future transfer seasons. Though it reduces his value compared to the previous one, this clause still offers Napoli more freedom for future financial operations. 

Sponsorships and endorsements

Apart from his performance on the football pitch, Victor Osimhen's name also reflects through commercial sponsorship deals. Many well-known brands have developed long-term relationships with the Nigerian; his work with Nike stands out among them. 

Before agreeing to a long-term contract with Napoli, Osimhen had been representing Nike formally. He did, however, sign a separate agreement with Napoli upon joining the team, therefore forfeiting his right to renew with Nike unless Nike paid €1.8 million to reimburse Napoli. 

This clause reveals Napoli's complete power over Osimhen's public image. Osimhen had signed yet another large endorsement contract with PZ Industries by 2023, this one for Dettol.

A brand in the field of personal hygiene products, Osimhen now enjoys great worldwide recognition. Now the brand's face is Osimhen, replacing Odion Ighalo, the past ambassador.

Apart from raising Osimhen's revenue, these sponsorship contracts have improved his commercial value on the global scene. Among other sectors, Osimhen also forms alliances with companies in the luxury goods, health, and nutrition sectors. Thanks to the endorsement deals he struck with well-known names, he is today among the best-paid African athletes in the world. 

Businesses and investments

Osimhen has proved that he has excellent financial awareness and business acumen despite still being in the early phases of his career. Unlike many young athletes who have depended just on earnings from the field, the Nigerian has started to concentrate on the realm of commercial activities. 

Osimhen has invested a lot of money in real estate. He purchased several mansions and various commercial buildings, among other real estate. 

These real estate holdings have helped to preserve and grow his riches as well as provide a consistent income. For instance, he highly values his estate in the Posillipo area of Naples. 

With its peaceful surroundings and panoramic views of the sea, the mansion presents him the ideal environment to enjoy his private life in a premier location within the community. 

Moreover, Osimhen has made investments in various sports-related businesses. His commercial portfolio has been broadened even more by his partnerships with various IT companies and sports brands. Osimhen not only invests in these companies but also enjoys a great market boost from his reputation. 

Cars

Osimhen leads a lavish life being a star football player for Napoli, the premier team in Italy. Testaments to his successes include his multiple homes and lavish garage. 

Among Osimhen's collection of luxury cars, which he enjoys, two of the most recognisable SUVs are the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Five-door SUVs are a favourite for the Nigerian. 

Whereas the Toyota Land Cruiser is an off-roading and long-distance competent SUV, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class boasts luxury and capability; it can achieve speeds of up to 210 km/h and contains a 421-horsepower V8 engine. 

Osimhen's G-Class not only displays his taste and reputation but also his unrelenting search for automotive perfection. Osimhen has accumulated a fortune via his high-end car and real estate interests. 

Houses and real estate investments

Before joining Galatasaray, Osimhen lived in Naples's upscale Posillipo district. The neighbourhood's status as one of the richest in the city stemmed in part from its lovely sea vistas and serene environment. 

Residing here is a mirror of Osimhen's search for quality living. Osimhen's choice reveals his level of wealth, as Posillipo real estate is extremely expensive. 

The close proximity of the villa to the Naples training ground makes his daily trips to and from straightforward. 

Based on shared photographs, he loves the terrace of his house, especially for its grandeur and comfort, since it offers wide views of the sea and other conveniences. This will likely help him to relax. 

Among Osimhen's luxury items are artworks, rare objects, real estate, and cars. Apart from giving him somewhere to unwind, these features help him to diversify his income. 

Final words

From the dusty streets of Nigeria to the highest level of international football, Victor Osimhen's career has been absolutely extraordinary. 

Apart from his outstanding on-field performance, his relentless nature and wise financial decisions have helped him to accumulate significant wealth from endorsement deals, corporate investments, and other sources. 

Osimhen's commercial success results from his business sense as much as his on-field playing ability. As Osimhen develops in his field, his fortune will keep rising in the next few years. 

Apart from being a motivational story of athletic success, his life shows the need for strategic career and financial management in creating long-lasting wealth.
