Guillermo Ochoa, a Mexican footballer competing professionally, holds a net worth of $20 million as of 2026. He serves as a goalkeeper for both the Cypriot club AEL Limassol and the Mexico national team. During his time with Mexico, he secured an unprecedented six CONCACAF Gold Cup victories between 2009 and 2025. After establishing himself at Club América, Ochoa transitioned to European football in 2011, playing for clubs like Ajaccio, Málaga, and Standard Liège, often without transfer fees. His peak earnings came during his 2019 return to América, where he became the highest-paid player in Liga MX, earning around $4.4 million annually. In the later stages of his career, he accepted reduced salaries to remain in Europe, making about €1 million per year at Salernitana before moving to AVS and AEL Limassol. His total career earnings are believed to exceed $40 million. Born on July 13, 1985, in Guadalajara, Mexico, Ochoa began his youth career with Club América in 1995, progressing through their youth ranks until 2004. Ochoa made his senior debut for América during the Clausura 2004 tournament. He later contributed to the Clausura 2005 championship and the Campeón de Campeones title the same year. In 2006, he won the CONCACAF Champions' Cup with América and claimed his first of two consecutive Golden Glove awards. His final trophy with América was the 2008 InterLiga. After the Clausura 2011, Ochoa joined Ajaccio, a newly promoted French Ligue 1 club. In his first season, he recorded eight clean sheets, 43 saves, and 151 blocks, despite conceding 59 goals. The following season, in 2012-13, he achieved 12 clean sheets. He spent one more season with Ajaccio in 2013-14 before the club’s relegation to Ligue 2. Ochoa signed a three-year deal with Málaga in Spain’s La Liga in 2014. However, he made limited appearances and was loaned to Granada for the 2016-17 season. He played every minute of Granada’s campaign but could not prevent the club’s relegation to the Segunda División. He then moved to Belgium, signing a two-year contract with Standard Liège in 2017. Ochoa won the Belgian Cup in his debut season. After two years in Belgium, he returned to América on a three-and-a-half-year contract, where he became the club’s all-time leader in clean sheets, breaking Adrián Chávez’s record of 110. He later played for Salernitana in Italy’s Serie A and AVS in Portugal’s Primeira Liga before joining AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division in 2025. His international career began with the Mexico under-23 team in 2004. He made his senior debut the next year in a friendly against Hungary, with Mexico triumphing 2-0. In 2006, Ochoa was selected as the third goalkeeper for the FIFA World Cup. The following year, he debuted at both the CONCACAF Gold Cup and Copa América. He secured his first Gold Cup in 2009, and in 2010, he served as Mexico’s reserve goalkeeper in the World Cup. In 2011, despite facing unfounded doping allegations, he won his second Gold Cup. Ochoa finally made his World Cup starting debut in 2014, helping Mexico defeat Cameroon in their opening match. His stellar performance drew widespread acclaim as Mexico advanced to the round-of-16, where they were eliminated by the Netherlands. In 2015, he claimed his third Gold Cup with Mexico. Ochoa participated in his second World Cup in 2018, featuring in all four of Mexico’s matches and making 25 saves, the second-highest total in the tournament after Belgium’s Thibaut Courtois. His best international year came in 2019, when he won his fourth Gold Cup and secured his first Golden Glove award. A few years later, he contributed to Mexico’s bronze medal finish at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. At the 2022 World Cup, Ochoa had a subpar outing as Mexico exited in the group stage for the first time since 1978. The team rebounded in 2023, winning another Gold Cup—Ochoa’s fifth—and earning his second Golden Glove. In 2024-25, he continued his success by helping Mexico claim its inaugural CONCACAF Nations League title and then winning a record sixth Gold Cup. Outside football, Ochoa co-founded the Mexican Footballers Association in 2017. He has also invested in multiple startups over the years, including the on-demand music platform Trebel. © 2026 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
