Tattoos and Their Meanings
Memphis has many tattoos all over his body. But they are not all pointless. In fact, many of them relate to different goals he has scored over the course of his career. He has a “Christ the Redeemer” tattoo for his first goal in the 2014 World Cup. He also has a small circle on his wrist to stand for his small circle of friends supporting him in his life. But his most note-worthy tattoo is that of the huge lion on his back. That tattoo represents the jungle that is his life. He grew up on the outside and had a rough life. The lion symbolizes how strong and resilient he is. He also has tattoos for his family. His father died the day before he turned 15, and Memphis has a tattoo on his left arm in remembrance of him.
Net Worth
At such a young age, Memphis has been able to sign with big football teams, and get his name known in the sporting world. He has managed to pull in an estimated Net Worth of over $4.5 million, through football, sponsorships and commercials. His worth is expected to increase as his career continues to progress, especially as the amount paid for him to switch football teams is growing steadily larger, now that he is being compared to Ronaldo. He is a stunning example of what a modern-day professional football player looks like, dedicated and hard-working.
Salary
Memphis’s salary has been changing and growing as his career advances and he changes football teams. He was previously making £100,000 a week while playing for Manchester United, which is quite an impressive sum. He was sold to Lyon in 2015 for £21 million – United was sad about losing such a promising player but was apparently glad to be rid of his weekly fee. We will see this number continue to rise as the years and his fame progress.
