Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
If the existence of his association “Inspired by KM” is not a secret, Kylian Mbappé is however more discreet regarding his personal commitment. While the Abbé Pierre Foundation had already revealed in the past several donations made by the former PSG star, journalist Grégory Schneider reveals that the sums donated are colossal.
We obviously know the footballer, but also the tough man in business when it comes to negotiating, with his family, his contracts with the PSG and the Real Madrid, or even different sponsors. The generous benefactor who hides in Kylian Mbappé is on the other hand much more discreet. Besides its association, “Inspired by KM“, which aims to promote the success of 98 young children, the attacker of theFrench team distinguished himself through financial gestures towards the most deprived. A very large generosity remained secret according to Grégory Schneiderjournalist at Release.
“It’s crazy what they send”
« I have some crazy examples in fact… But I can’t talk about it, because actually, they (the Mbappé clan, Editor’s note) don’t want us to communicatereveals the journalist from Release in a report from BFMTV dedicated to Kylian Mbappé. I did the calculation, compared to his monthly salary, it wasn’t bad. It was maybe one or two months’ salary that he was giving up like that, on a check. You’re going to tell me that he has other months’ salary, but I’m not giving up two months’ salary like that. It’s crazy what they’re sending, but if they don’t want to talk about it, I can’t do it for them. ” As a reminder, Kylian Mbappé received €6 million gross per month PSG after its extension to the summer of 2022. A salary revised downwards with his arrival at Real Madridwhere he should receive around €15M net per year, in addition to a significant signing bonus and a significant percentage of his image rights.
Mbappé has made several donations to the Abbé Pierre Foundation
Christophe Robertgeneral delegate of the Abbé Pierre Foundationhad already revealed after the 2022 World Cup the commitment of Kylian Mbappé. « During the Covid crisis, from spring 2020, colossal needs arose, of which everyone became awarehe confided to Parisian. The whole country was at a standstill, a lot of people approaching us and asking what to do, what to give, what matches to organize, etc. There was a lot of support from citizens, donors and businesses too. Many said to themselves: we are here at home, not badly off, what can we do for others? I think Kylian was one of them. He knows Jamel Debbouze and Mélissa Theuriau, his wife, well, with whom we have been working on different projects for a long time. Kylian wanted to support the Foundation with a fairly substantial donation, and he did so twice during the Covid period, then again afterwards. (…) During Kylian’s first donation during Covid, PSG showed its solidarity at that time. But I have the impression that it was a fairly personal act on Kylian’s part, out of concern for others. He had been very clear, he had wanted to know what we were doing with these sums, what they were actually used for. This desire overlapped with the work undertaken by his own association. »
