One of the many opinions used as an argument to justify the failure of the Mexican national team in Qatar 2022 was the lack of hierarchy within the players’ names. The team doesn’t have footballers who have had a significant career in Europe and who could replace someone like Chicharito Hernandez, who did enjoy those privileges.
The current LA Galaxy player is considered by many as the second emblem in the history of football, just behind Hugo Sanchez. One of the achievements that allow him to hold that title is his status as the highest scorer in the Mexican national team. In addition to that, he is also known for his great trajectory in clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid. These steps, coupled with his personal ventures, have resulted in Chicharito Hernandez’s fortune being estimated at $30 million.
Throughout his active life, the Mexican striker was able to sign multimillion-dollar contracts. However, this did not end after his peak, but it has sustained him in recent years. It is known that the US market gives great priority to making economic efforts that can nurture their league with similar stars. In that sense, his contract is worth $7 million per season. Not to mention what he accumulated in the English and Spanish clubs, in addition to his time in Germany.
However, for the Guadalajara-born player, it wasn’t all about football. As a good planner who thinks about his future retirement, he understood that he needed to invest in other areas. This is how he was able to enter the watch industry and dedicate a good part of his time to new technologies such as video games. Finally, he launched a campaign with Intuit Quickbooks, in which he invites small businesses to think big.
