Football referees rarely take the limelight for anything but their mistakes on the pitch. But the Dutchman Björn Kuipers is the exception. The referee of 45 years can not only boast led the historic final of Lisbon in which Real Madrid won its tenth European Cup in 2014, the finals of the Europa League 2013 and 2018 or the Confederations Cup final of 2013 (in which Brazil took Spain the opportunity to pick up the only title it lacks), as well as World Cup matches. He can also boast of owning a fortune close to the 12.4 million euros earned beyond his salary in the world of football.

The whistler is a graduate in business administration and co-owner of a supermarket chain "C100", with more than 500 branches in his native country. In addition, its high economic benefits, (average annual perceptions between 2 and 4 million euros) have earned it being one of the sponsors of the Dutch Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen of the Red Bull team.

But their income does not stop there. To these figures, one must add the salary that he receives to be one of the most outstanding members of Eredivisie, more than about 6 thousand euros that he gets for each of the matches that he referee in the decisive matches of UEFA. One must also add a hairdressing business that he founded recently

Participations in the World Cup

In this World Cup he has already led Egypt-Uruguay , Brazil-Costa Rica in group stage, besides Spain-Russia of the eighth and England-Sweden quarters. In total sum five meetings up to now in the contest if we count that he was fourth referee in the match between Argentina and Nigeria. At these games we will have to add the three that he led to Brazil 2014. There is no news if Kuipers will whistle another match in what is left of the fight but if not, will surely have no time to whine. On returning home, your income will continue to increase.
