[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has recently acquired a partial stake in the French national sailing team, continuing to diversify his investment portfolio. It is reported that the French national sailing team is one of 12 national teams in the global sailing series. Before investing in the French national sailing team, Mbappe had recently invested in the German electronics company Loewe, the luxury watch shopping platform Wristcheck, and the Ligue 2 club Caen. The value of Mbappe’s investment has not been disclosed, but his “Inspired by KM” foundation will become the official charitable partner of the French national sailing team. According to U.S. business media Forbes, Mbappe is the sixth highest-paid athlete globally in 2024, with earnings of $110 million. As one of the highest-paid players in football today, Mbappe’s investment vision clearly extends beyond the football realm. He sees the potential and charm of sailing competitions and has decided to expand his business interests into this vast ocean. Mbappe has high hopes for the French national sailing team. After three races, the French team currently ranks seventh in the standings, but he believes the team has the ability to achieve great results this season.
