Guillermo Ochoa is a professional footballer from Mexico whose net worth stands at $20 million. He serves as a goalkeeper for both AEL Limassol in Cyprus and the Mexican national team. During his time with Mexico, Ochoa secured an unprecedented six Gold Cup victories spanning from 2009 to 2025. Following his rise at Club América, he ventured to Europe in 2011, joining teams like Ajaccio, Málaga, and Standard Liège, primarily through free transfers. His income peaked during his 2019 return to América, where he earned the distinction of being the highest-paid player in Liga MX, making roughly $4.4 million annually. In the later stages of his career, Ochoa accepted reduced salaries to continue playing in Europe, earning approximately €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 football journey in 1995 by joining the youth ranks of Club América, where he stayed until 2004. His professional debut for América occurred during the Clausura 2004 tournament. He later claimed the Clausura 2005 title and the Campeón de Campeones in the same year. In 2006, Ochoa added the CONCACAF Champions' Cup to his collection and secured his first of two consecutive Golden Glove awards. His final trophy with América came in the 2008 InterLiga. After the Clausura 2011, Ochoa transferred to Ajaccio, a newly promoted French Ligue 1 club. During his debut season, he recorded eight clean sheets, 43 saves, and 151 blocks, though the team conceded 59 goals. The following season, in 2012-13, he managed 12 clean sheets. Ochoa spent one more year with Ajaccio in 2013-14 before relegation to Ligue 2. In 2014, Ochoa signed a three-year deal with Málaga in Spain's La Liga. However, he featured infrequently and was loaned to Granada for the 2016-17 season. He played every minute of Granada's campaign but could not prevent their relegation to the Segunda División. He then joined Standard Liège in Belgium in 2017 on a two-year contract, winning the Belgian Cup in his first season. After completing his second year in Belgium, Ochoa returned to América on a three-and-a-half-year deal, where he set a new record for most clean sheets in the club's history, surpassing Adrián Chávez’s benchmark of 110. He later played for Salernitana in Italy’s Serie A and AVS in Portugal’s Primeira Liga before signing with AEL Limassol in Cyprus’s First Division in 2025. Ochoa’s international career began with the Mexico under-23 team in 2004, and he made his senior debut the next year in a friendly against Hungary, which Mexico won 2-0. In 2006, he was selected as the third-choice goalkeeper for the FIFA World Cup. By 2007, he had made his debut in both the CONCACAF Gold Cup and Copa América. Ochoa won his first Gold Cup in 2009 and served as Mexico’s backup goalkeeper in the 2010 World Cup. In 2011, despite facing false doping allegations, he claimed his second Gold Cup. Ochoa finally debuted in the World Cup in 2014, starting in Mexico’s opening win over Cameroon, earning widespread acclaim as the team advanced to the round-of-16, where they were eliminated by the Netherlands. In 2015, he secured his third Gold Cup with Mexico. He participated in his second World Cup in 2018, playing in all four of Mexico’s matches and making 25 saves, the second-highest tally in the tournament after Belgium’s Thibaut Courtois. Ochoa delivered one of his finest international performances in 2019, capturing his fourth Gold Cup and claiming his first Golden Glove award. Two years later, he contributed to Mexico’s bronze medal finish at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. At the 2022 World Cup, Ochoa’s performance fell short as Mexico was eliminated in the group stage for the first time since 1978. The team rebounded in 2023, winning another Gold Cup and setting a record with Ochoa’s fifth title, along with his second Golden Glove. Ochoa continued his success in 2024-25, helping Mexico win its inaugural CONCACAF Nations League title before securing a historic sixth Gold Cup. Off the pitch, Ochoa co-founded the Mexican Footballers Association in 2017. Over the years, he has also invested in several startups, including the on-demand music platform Trebel. © 2026 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
