Biography
Pierre Emrick Abumeyang was born on 18 June 1989, to former Gabonese international Pierre Aubameyang. He began his career in 2007 playing for AC Milan but never appeared for the club as he went on a series of loan spells in several clubs across France.
He moved to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There, he won a Coupe de la Ligue title, his first major trophy as a professional footballer. He finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
In the 2012–13 season, Aubameyang ended second in the competition’s top-goalscorers list, scoring 19 goals and finishing behind only Zlatan Ibrahimović. From his 37 appearances, he also provided eight assists. The season was widely regarded as his breakout year—he appeared in the Ligue 1 team of the season and he won the Ligue 1 African Player of the Year award.
He joined Borussia Dortmund in 2013 on a five-year contract. Aubameyang finished as the league’s top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also won the DFL Supercup in 2013 and 2014.
In 2018, Aubameyang signed for Arsenal, for a then-club-record fee, of £56 million, making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time. With Arsenal, he won the FA Cup; FA Community Shield, and finished as the league’s joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season.
On 2 February 2022, Barcelona reached an agreement for Aubameyang to join the club. Aubameyang signed a contract until 30 June 2025 with an option to depart on 30 June 2023. The deal also includes a buyout clause of €100 million (£83.4 million).

Pierre Emrick Aubameyang takes sixth place among the richest footballers in Africa in 2022, with an estimated net worth of $50 Million. As a footballer, he made the majority of his fortune from football contracts, endorsement deals, and investment deals.
He was earning a total of £47,000 when he began his career at Borussia Dortmund. His last contract at the club saw him earning £82,000 every week. He began earning £180,000 per week after signing for Arsenal in 2018. His wage was however increased to £250,000 per week, two years into the club.
His fallout with the Arsenal head coach meant that he was desperate to leave, and ended up joining Barcelona on a massive pay cut, with Aubameyang now making around 95,000 euros per week.
Aside from earning from his Football contract, Abumeyang also has an endorsement deal with Nike and other multinational brands.
In 2017, he was even fined by Borussia Dortmund, his former club, for putting on a Nike mask while celebrating his goal in a 1-1 draw against Schalke in a Bundesliga match.
He later revealed that the mask was part of Nike’s “The Masked Finisher” campaign. He also wears Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF, the same boot worn by Harry Kane and Samir Nasri.
