Thibaut Courtois Builds Football Empire

Thibaut Courtois is one of the world's best goalkeepers, with a financial empire valued at $120-160 million by early 2026.

His lucrative contract with Real Madrid contributes significantly to his wealth, earning him €15 million annually.

On top of his football salary, Courtois has ventured into business, founding investment firm NxtPlay, which acquired a majority stake in Le Mans FC.

Mishel Gerzig, a former Israeli Navy commander, has a thriving modeling career, working with agencies like iTm Models and Next Miami, and was included in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2025.

The couple's combined net worth is driven by football contracts, business investments, and high-profile modeling.

Courtois is fond of expensive cars, with a garage featuring a Porsche 992 GT3 RS, a Lamborghini Urus, a Ferrari Roma, and a Mercedes-AMG G 63.

In June 2023, Courtois married Gerzig at the Château de la Croix des Gardes in Cannes, and they now live in a luxurious house in Madrid.

The couple gives fans a glimpse into their lives through a documentary series, Courtois: The Return of the Number 1.

With his contract with Real Madrid until 2027, Courtois is still one of the most well-remunerated goalkeepers in the world, and his business ventures continue to grow.

As of March 2026, rumors surfaced that the Saudi Arabian club had approached him with a possible offer, including an annual salary of €30 million-per-season.

Thibaut Courtois and Mishel Gerzig's success has taken the form of a high-end lifestyle, featuring fancy automobiles, high-rise properties, and flashy appearances around the globe.
