Well it depends on their contract, but when Ibrahimovic signed for PSG he was on a reported £200k AFTER TAX. When the French introduced their 75% top rate of tax, PSG were paying £47m/year for Ibra to take home ~£11M/year . I wouldn't be surprised if most top footballers have a after tax clause...

Seriously, how much would you spend per week, how much would you save, how much (and what) would you invest? I'd probably live a comfortable life, but try to invest £100,000 a week in different areas, save £50,000 a week and spend £70,000 a week on gadgets, cars and holidays.
