Kylian Mbappe is one of the top football superstars in the world up to now. With his youth and top-notch football skills, the 24-year-old is expected to rise to become a football legend like Messi or Ronaldo. Not only that, besides his sublime career, the “little prince” of the French team also has a warm and righteous heart.

To get the glory as it is now, few people know that Mbappe was once a boy born in an impoverished slum 10km from Paris. From childhood to adulthood, he had to live in an environment with a complex population, mixing between the working class and the “top of the street” delinquents. The suffocation of a miserable childhood made Mbappe even more aware of effort and love.

For the fans who always follow Mbappe, his kind heart that always wants to give is no longer a strange thing. Coming from a family that is not very well off, Mbappe always shares and sympathizes with difficult “life”. Therefore, in the last 2022 World Cup, the French striker deducted all his bonus after the season to sponsor a fund to support children in Africa.

According to some sources, the amount of money that Mbappe has donated is worth up to 400 thousand USD (equivalent to 9.4 billion VND). This is not the first time Mbappe has done this because before that, he also decided to use all of his winnings during the 2018 World Cup to give to a children’s fund.

In a sharing with the media, Mbappe confided: “I don’t need to be paid. I play for the colors of the flag, I make enough money – a lot of money. So I think it’s important to help people in need. A lot of people are suffering and for people like us, helping people is no big deal.”

In 2020, when Mbappe was only 22 years old, he founded a charity fund called “Inspired by KM”. With Mbappe’s help, 98 disadvantaged children will be supported with all their living expenses until they go to work, and give them many opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities.

Talented youth, possessing a successful career at a young age, but not so that Mbappe allows himself to deviate from the principles of life. Many anecdotes say that Mbappe has “4 no’s” that he will not commit. That’s no excessive play, no alcohol, no tattoos and no supercars. In addition, the French superstar also failed his driving test and still lives with his family.

It is known that Mbappe is a leader in frankly condemning pleasures such as alcohol, fast food or gambling. “The Little Prince” does not agree to sponsored advertisements of any brands related to the above matters.
During the last World Cup in Qatar, Mbappe did not hesitate to refuse to advertise for the beer sponsor the title of best player of the match. Therefore, when giving this award to Mbappe and a few other Muslim players, FIFA had to remove this sponsor’s name.

It can be seen that, not only shining on the pitch, Mbappe also shines in his own heart and personality. What do you think about the admirable personality of the 24-year-old French superstar? Please share by leaving a comment below.
