Kylian Mbappe has often been described as the poster-boy of football's next generation but outside the pitch, the Frenchman is making his own grandstanding legacy in the dimension of humanitarian effort.
The sensational wonder-kid has been phenomenal for Paris-Saint-Germain this season, scoring a whopping 14 goals and four assists in just 1244 minutes played, with each of thee goal coming within 89 minutes.
Mbappe has now been reported to have unveiled a charity for kids named KM which he often donates part of his €17.5 million annual salaries.

According to UK Sun, Mbappe unveiled his charity foundation on January 21 in the midst of crowd numbering 300. He said he would use the new foundation to help 98 kids scale to the next ladder of their lives.
“We will support them until their working lives begin,” the PSG star told the crowd at the unveiling.
“It is important for everyone to mingle with people they might not otherwise meet. I’m just trying to give a hand to children and make them smile,'' the Frenchman said.

Mbappe, who helped France win the 2018 World Cup title in Russia, has earlier admitted that he gives money to charity because he sees the need to help people out of extreme want.
''A lot of people are suffering, a lot of people have diseases. For people like us, giving a helping hand to people is not a big thing,'' the 21-year-old said.
Without any iota of doubt, this is not the first time Mbappe would commit his heavy saving to charity as he donated all his World Cup fees and bonuses worth £400,000 to a children's charity organisation.
The PSG star also followed the path of his mentor Cristiano Ronaldo when he also donated £26,000 to help fund a private search for Emiliano Sala, whose plane perished in a sea.
