Jude Bellingham has earned an enormous amount of money since moving to Real Madrid this summer.
Bellingham has enjoyed an incredible start to his Real Madrid career, after completing a move from Borussia Dortmund for £88.4million.
The 20-year-old has been a talismanic figure for Los Blancos from midfield, having even broken the great Alfredo Di Stefano’s record for the most goals scored in the first 15 games for the club.
Bellingham has returned 18 goals and six assists in 24 appearances in all competitions this term, with 13 of those strikes coming in La Liga, a league high.

Meanwhile, the latest of his assists came in a 4-1 win over Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, a game that saw the England international go on to claim his first piece of silverware with Real Madrid.
Bellingham’s sensational form since his arrival has seen CIES Football Observatory, value him at approximately £230million, making the midfielder the most expensive player in the world.
And since his move, Bellingham is thought to have earned himself a pretty penny.
According to Marca, writing just before Bellingham's signature was confirmed, the midfielder is believed to be earning around £12million per year in the Spanish capital.
That breaks down to approximately £230,000 per week. In turn, in his 31 weeks since signing for Real, Bellingham has earned around £7.13million.
Bellingham’s career has gone from strength to strength since he turned down Manchester United and moved from Birmingham to Borussia Dortmund at the age of 17.
Ex-United captain Gary Neville even praised Bellingham for making that decision as a teenager, having admired the player’s exploits at Madrid.
Neville said on Sky Sports: “I have spoken to players before they come here saying you'll never regret it, it's a magic football club, looking back that's pretty poor advice.
“Other players who have chosen other clubs have gone on to be really successful. You think of Jude Bellingham, he walks into the boardroom here, Man United have agreed a fee with Birmingham and so have Dortmund and he has a choice between them and somehow, well done to him, he chose Dortmund and is now one of the greatest players in the world and greatest English talents.
“What would have happened if he came here? I don't know, maybe he would be a success but I'm not so sure because of the culture.”
