But the Frenchman turned down the opportunity to make big money in favor of realizing his dream move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Mbappe, 25, will earn £26.3 million a year – making him Real Madrid’s highest-paid star.
But his salary is lower than that of Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski and Manchester United target Frenkie de Jongwho is the highest paid player in the league with a salary of £31.6 million per year.
Six Real Madrid players make up the top ten earners, with Mbappe taking a huge pay cut to leave PSG.
However, he received a signing fee of £85.5 million upon his arrival.
But if he didn’t leave PSG he could be on an exorbitant salary after being offered £86m-a-year to stay.
Mbappe was unveiled as a Real Madrid player this week and revealed his joy at joining the LaLiga giants.
He said: “It feels amazing to be here, just incredible. I spent endless nights dreaming of one day playing for Real Madrid and today I’m a happy guy.

Kylian Mbappe ‘acquires £15m mansion in Beckham’s old neighborhood’ alongside Real Madrid legend and Hollywood star
By Gerard Couzens
KYLIAN MBAPPE reportedly spent more than £15million on a Madrid mansion.
The French superstar, whose protracted move to Real Madrid has finally been confirmed, is said to have completed the purchase at the end of last month.
Respected Spanish daily La Razon says the house he bought is in the exclusive Madrid suburb of La Moraleja, where David Beckham spent most of his time when he was in the Spanish capital.
And he says his neighbors will include former Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and his stunning model wife Pilar Rubio, as well as Hollywood star Richard Gere and his wife, Spanish publicist Alejandra Silva.
La Razon said Mbappe considered the gated community of La Finca, where Jude Bellingham lives and Cristiano Ronaldo still owns a property, as an option.
But it reported that the 25-year-old, who threw an extravagant party for 250 guests at a stylish Italian restaurant just steps from the Eiffel Tower, ended up opting for La Moraleja, a 15-minute drive from Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex , because it was “more comfortable”.
