There are statistics that leave no one indifferent… even among the highest paid athletes in the world. When Al-Hilal’s club in Saudi Arabia wants to invest in Kylian Mbappé, the American basketball stars themselves were a bit confused.
such an offer never existed in the game
Recall that the Saudis would have offered the star striker of the France team and Paris Saint-Germain a salary of 700 million euros a year. Such an offer has never been put on the table, L’Equipe clarifies… neither in basketball, nor in any sport. On Twitter, Milwaukee infielder Giannis Antetokounmpo reacted with particular humor to the Saudi club’s announcement of a contract offer. He wrote, “Al-Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe.”
On his part, LeBron James, a billionaire himself, posted a GIF of Forrest Gump on Twitter, with the comment: “If they can ask Rich Paul (his agent) and Maverick Carter (best friend and partner) for this.” If called, I will go to Saudi Arabia.” One year contract!”

Athletics legend Usain Bolt was also somewhat amused by the situation. The Jamaican player even said that he is ready to return to the slopes. “I am ready to come out of retirement with a salary of $776 million (or 700 million euros) a year,” tweeted the eight-time Olympic champion in athletics.
Am I ready to retire for this $776M a year salary??
