The president of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, is the man of the moment as he flies around in a private jet from one stadium to other, attending FIFA World Cup games in US, Canada and Mexico.
The 56-year-old executive’s net worth and earnings has been increasingly in focus amid his private jet’s exploits, even though it has been sponsored by Qatar Airways to the top executive. But that doesn’t mean Gianni Infantino’s wealth is unimpressive.
Gianni Infantino has net worth estimated between $14 million and $16 million. According to Forbes, he was the 75th Most Powerful People in the World in 2018.
The FIFA president’s wealth is largely accumulated through his executive career in football’s governing bodies. His annual salary and bonus package has grown to approximately $6 million, as of 2026.

CNBC reported that Trump’s financial disclosures reveal that he got FIFA match tickets worth over $15,000 from FIFA President Gianni Infantino in 2025. A total of 10 tickets were given to Trump, which included games like the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium last year.
The revelation has added to the row over Trump and Infantino’s relationship after Axios reported that 50 European Parliament members sent a letter to FIFA questioning the awarding of the FIFA Peace Prize to Trump.
