What Most Fans Don’t Know About Thibaut Courtois and Mishel Gerzig’s Net Worth and High-End Lifestyle

Thibaut Courtois is considered one of the world's best goalkeepers by many football fans, and few people are aware of the scale of the financial empire he and his wife, Mishel Gerzig, have built. By early 2026, the couple's combined net worth is estimated to be between $120 million and $160 million, driven by football contracts, business investments, and high-profile modelling.

Courtois continues to be one of the most well remunerated goalkeepers in the world of football, and is driving his own brand in the fashion scene, going through Real Madrid, and Gerzig has also created her own fashion world of her own. This success has taken the form of a high-end lifestyle, featuring fancy automobiles, high-rise properties, and flashy appearances around the globe. Even with their celebrity status, both continue to grow their professional endeavors outside the football and modeling arenas, which reinforces their long-term financial power.

Inside Thibaut Courtois’ massive football salary and business ventures

Real Madrid has a very lucrative contract that has contributed to Courtois's rise. The Belgian international reportedly earns about €15 million ($16.3 million) a year, which translates to about €288,462 a week. International attention has also noted his value in world football, with rumors surfacing in March 2026 that the Saudi Arabian club had approached him with a possible offer, including an annual salary of €30 million-per-season, but he is still under contract with Madrid until 2027.

Courtois has also ventured into business besides football. He is the founder of investment firm NxtPlay, which recently acquired a majority stake in Le Mans FC, indicating that he is increasingly interested in sports investments.


In the meantime, Gerzig has had a thriving career in the modeling industry and has worked with agencies such as iTm Models and Next Miami. Her fashion impact has led to her being included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2025. Interestingly, she is a former Israeli Navy commander, which often surprises her fans, as she had not previously been in modeling.

Lavish cars, Riviera wedding, and their glamorous Madrid life

The lovers live luxury life, as Courtois is fond of expensive cars. His garage is reported to contain a Porsche 992 GT3 RS, a Lamborghini Urus, a Ferrari Roma, and a Mercedes-AMG G 63, some of which have a highly modified appearance.

In June 2023, Courtois married Gerzig at the gorgeous Château de la Croix des Gardes in Cannes, a venue traditionally used for luxurious Riviera weddings. The couple now live in a luxurious house in Madrid and regularly give a peek into their lives through a documentary series, Courtois: The Return of the Number 1, which provides the fans with a glimpse of what life is actually like outside of football.
