Calculated as of Monday morning for Mbappé’s seven World Cup games and championship bonus, the French forward would be donating approximately $449,606, or £384,000

Kylian Mbappé, France’s breakout star of the 2018 World Cup, continues to surprise his fans — this time with his philanthropy. The France forward has not disappointed Paris Saint-Germain after they signed him to the national team in 2017 for £166 million.

Mbappé’s memorable four goals in seven World Cup games not only helped France to its huge international victory but also made him the second-youngest player to score a goal at the World Cup (the youngest player to score a World Cup goal is Brazilian soccer legend Pelé).
