The Mexican is one of the highest-earning athletes in world sport, so talkSPORT.com takes a look at how much he is worth…

Canelo Alvarez net worth

Canelo’s current net worth is estimated to be over £150million.

He was named the fifth highest-paid athlete in the world in 2023, sitting behind LeBron James, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

The 33-year-old made around £100m over the last year, earning incredible amounts of money each time he enters the ring due to his stature in the sport. 

In 2018, Canelo signed one of the biggest contracts in sports history as he agreed to a five-year deal with Golden Boy and DAZN that would see him make a total of £365m. 

However, after only making a reported £50m from his first two fights, he decided to exit the contract and file a lawsuit against his promoter and broadcaster. 

He has had many huge paydays, reportedly making almost £70m from his first two fights against rival Gennady Golovkin. 

He was also claimed to have made at least £40m for his most recent bout against Jermell Charlo in September.

It doesn’t stop there, as Canelo has a personal clothing line and is part of the team behind sports drink maker Yaoca and a fitness app called I Can. 

According to Forbes, he makes around £20m a year from real estate investments too.
