Widely Loved Former Chelsea Player Didier Drogba's Jaw-Dropping Net Worth

Ivorian retired professional footballer Didier Drogba's career at Chelsea is really a commendable one, and he has given the team many glorious moments to look back to and cherish. 

He has been the only foreign footballer to score more goals than any foreign player on the team. 

No wonder fans love him as he has given many historical wins to Chelsea and has given the football fans the best memories of a sport they love dearly. 

As a result, the footballer was named in the Chelsea team of the 2010-2020 decade by the team's fans. 

But these are just some drops of achievement in his ocean of accomplishments.

His accomplishments have been so impactful that the reward that has come along with them has been equally significant, ranking his net worth to be multi-million dollars. 

What Is Didier Drogba's Net Worth?

The former footballer has also been a captain of the Ivory Coast national team. He was named African Footballer of the Year two times in 2006 and 2009. 

Didier signed to Chelsea in July 2004 for a whopping $24 million, but his first season with the team has been regarded as somewhat disappointing.

But call it Drogba's luck, Chelsea won the Premier League in his debut season, the team's second English top-flight championship and first in their 50 years.

Calling it mere luck would be underestimating the skill and talent of Drogba, as his gameplay was no less than impressive. 

Drogba's contract with Chelsea expired in 2012, and the team released him.

The player, who stands tall at the height of 6 feet 2 inches, signed a half-year deal with Galatasaray, which allowed him a fee of 4 million pounds plus a wage of another 4 million pounds per season, which definitely soared up his net worth.

However, after finishing his contract with the team, he returned to Chelsea with a one-year contract in hand after being offered to come back to the team. 

Jose Mourinho himself admitted to the fact that Didier was the best striker in Europe.

However, after his permanent departure from Chelsea, he went on to play with other teams and eventually retired at the age of 40.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Drogba has a net worth of $90 million, and his salary is reported at $15 million per year. 

And he enjoys all of this fortune by himself, by the looks of it, as he has separated from his former wife after two decades of marriage.
