Robben Salary & Net Worth
How much did Arjen Robben earn?Arjen Robben has a net worth of...
120 Million Euros (141.2 Million Dollars)
This statement is going to stir the pot unlike any other we've said on this site yet. But we're still going to. 'The Glass Man' is a better dribbler than Lionel Messi. Although this statement is up for debate, in our eyes, this legend is one of the best right wingers to have ever played the game. Sponsored by Adidas, his trademark move was cutting in from the right. Although defenders knew that he was going to do it, there was nothing they could do that'd stop him. It saddened us a bit to hear that he retired from the game. He has since come back but won't add much to his net worth of about 120 Million Euros from his current endeavor.
Current Job
What does Robben currently do?Life's a circle. He has come out of retirement to help Groningen, the place where it all started, to get out of the COVID crisis. (Image: imgur.com)
That's him putting pen to paper. It's moments like these that make legends out of footballers. (Image: imgur.com)
Iconic Moments
Toe Poked
One of his career-defining moments came in the 2010 World Cup Final. After being put through on goal by Sneijder, he was left one on one with Iker Casillas. Instead of rounding the keeper, he decided to shoot, only to be denied by Iker's toe. This is the kind of incident that would break a normal human being. (Image: imgur.com)
Haunted For Life?
Our legend, though, would have his payback in the next World Cup. He came back even stronger and managed to humiliate Iker and help his team win 5-1 by scoring a brace. Nonetheless, the toe save meant that Holland's and his best chance of clinching the Cup was gone. That's not a very good memory to live with. (Image: imgur.com)
He can score winners
Although the finish might not be as empathic as some of his others, it got him and his team a Champions League trophy. It was no World Cup, and the finish looked messy at best. But he'll take it. It was against Dortmund in the final of the 2013 edition. (Image: imgur.com)
Celebrate like there's no tomorrow
He had missed a penalty in the previous season, but more than made up for it by assisting Mario's first goal and scoring the winner right at the death. It was a moment of euphoria and redemption combined into one. He was genuinely happy, and Bayern fans have been singing his praises since. (Image: imgur.com)
Glass Man
The only downside to his game was the lengthy spells that he'd face at the infirmary due to his recurring injuries. It was one of the reasons why Real Madrid sold him. What would have happened had he remained in the Spanish capital? We'd never know the answer to that question. (Image: imgur.com)
Injury Prone
His time in Munich was not completely injury-free either. But the Germans extracted ten good years from the Dutchman. The German efficiency model kicked in, and his will to succeed endured his career for a long time. After winning a total of twenty titles, he has now parted ways with Die Roten. (Image: imgur.com)
Love Life - Single, Girlfriend or Wife?
Arjen Robben Wife - Bernadien
He was once late for training due to Bernadien when he met her for the first time as a teenager. It's totally worth it from what we see. (Image: imgur.com)

These childhood sweethearts are still going at it pretty strong. What does the Dutch public think of their German outfit? (Image: imgur.com)
Family - Get to know them
Robben Father - Hans
If there was one thing Hans wished could have been otherwise was his son's hair. He has been incredibly proud of him otherwise. (Image: imgur.com)
Robben Mother - Marjo
Marjo is that lady who hasn't got a clue about what football is or how it works but still supports the gents because they love it. (Image: imgur.com)
Robben Car - What does he drive?
Audi
Audi has been his go-to car for a while, we think. The brand has followed him everywhere he's been. (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
Location: Munich, Germany
That was his home in Germany. It looks dull. He's probably sold it now and is on the lookout for a new place in Groningen. (Image: imgur.com)
