Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is already living like a football superstar. Just days before his 18th birthday, the talented forward showed off a custom diamond necklace worth an estimated Sh60.6 million (€400,000).

Yamal posted a video on his Instagram story, proudly showcasing the glittering piece. The necklace features Blaugrana (Barcelona’s) colours and his initials “LY” engraved on it. It's a bold symbol of his rising status, both on the pitch and in the world of fashion.

Riches at a Young Age

Yamal earns about Sh4.5 billion (€30 million) per year. With that kind of salary, it’s no surprise he can afford to treat himself. The necklace adds him to the growing list of football stars known for their love of flashy jewelry.

Other players with expensive taste include Marcus Rashford, who owns a Sh4.5 million (£26,000) necklace, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who once gifted Georgina Rodríguez a Sh107.8 million (£615,000) engagement ring.
