Achraf Hakimi has risen to become one of the most popular footballers in Africa, with his impressive performances on the field and a reported net worth of $24 million. As a right-back or wing-back for Paris Saint-Germain, he earns approximately $1 million per month, making him the sixth highest-paid player in Africa.
However, amid his divorce from actress Hiba Abouk, it was revealed that 80% of his net worth is controlled by his mother, who makes all the purchases on his behalf, including cars, jewelry, and clothes. This move allowed him to hide his wealth from his estranged wife and the public eye, potentially saving him $8.5 million in the divorce settlement.
Despite controversy surrounding this move, Hakimi’s success on the field has made him a role model for many young people in Africa and around the world. He played a vital role in leading Morocco to the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and shares the locker room with some of the world’s greatest footballers, including Lionel Messi and Neymar.
However, recent accusations of attempted rape have raised questions about Hakimi’s character, although both his club and country have shown support for him. While some praise his ability to hide his wealth, others have criticized his move and questioned his ethics.
