Real Madrid — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Real Madrid generated $1.08 billion in revenue in the 2024/25 season according to Deloitte's Football Money League, making them the highest-earning football club in the world for the third consecutive year. Forbes valued the club at $6.6 billion in 2025, cementing their position as the most valuable sports franchise in Europe. The revenue milestone was partly driven by the completion of the €1.5 billion Bernabeu renovation, which added premium hospitality boxes, a retractable roof and a concert venue that generates significant non-matchday income.
Real Madrid have won 15 UEFA Champions League titles — more than any other club in history — with recent wins in 2022 and 2024 driven by Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham before the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the summer of 2024. The club has 140 million Instagram followers, more than any other sports team in the world, giving them unrivalled commercial reach for sponsorship deals with Adidas, Emirates, Audi and Santander.
Florentino Perez, who has been president since 2000 (with a brief interruption), has overseen the club's transformation into a global commercial powerhouse. His pursuit of Galactico signings — Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo, Mbappe — has consistently generated enormous media coverage that amplifies the club's commercial value far beyond football results alone. Madrid's 36 La Liga titles make them the most decorated club in Spanish football history.
