As of 2026, the Ghana international’s estimated net worth is between £12 million and £18 million, according to TheAfriPost.
This figure combines his football salaries, bonuses, endorsements, and major transfer deals.

According to Salary Leaks, the Ghanaian talent earns around £150,000 per week on a long-term contract at Manchester City.
That suggests his annual base salary at City might approach £7.8 million, not counting performance bonuses or commercial earnings.
This jump in pay at the Etihad Stadium is a major factor in Semenyo’s rising overall net worth, as Premier League top-flight salaries usually contribute the most to a player’s financial portfolio.

Sampene rallies behind Semenyo
Meanwhile, former Ghanaian footballer Opoku Sampene has backed Antoine Semenyo to make prudent financial decisions as the Black Stars forward continues to enjoy a sharp rise in earnings.
Reacting to Semenyo's impressive Premier League campaign, Opoku Sampene praised the forward’s progress but stressed the importance of long-term planning.
According to the ex-footballer, today’s generation of players operate in a completely different financial era compared to his playing days.
During an interview with YEN.com.gh's Gariba Raubil, Sampene said:
“In our time, football was about passion first because the money was not that much. Today, football is a huge business. Players are earning life-changing sums, so they must invest wisely, stay disciplined, and keep improving to secure even bigger contracts.”
He added that Semenyo’s work rate and steady improvement suggest the forward has the potential to command even more lucrative deals in the coming years.
Sampene emphasised that consistent performance remains the key to sustaining high earnings in modern football. He noted that clubs now reward productivity, versatility, and professionalism with better contracts and long-term security.
“Talent will take you to the top, but consistency keeps you there. If he keeps working hard and improving every season, bigger and fatter contracts will naturally follow,'' he added.
