‘R12.8m per annum’: Former Kaizer Chiefs star earning big in MLS

The Zimbabwean defender made his second dance in the MSL after FC Cincinnati signed him from Turkish side Konyaspor a year after leaving Houston Dynamo.

FORMER KAIZER CHIEFS STAR EARNING BIG IN MAJOR SOCCER LEAGUE
Like those before him, he has splurged thousands, if not millions, on his life of glitz and glamour.

Lately, Teenage Hadebe has been winning off the pitch. He has been sharing more of his off-the-pitch lifestyle, which has always implicated his earnings.

He shared a picture of his mega-mansion on Instagram not so long ago. A few months later, he shared photos at his rumoured farm, where he ranches cattle.

These big wins have since left Mzansi trying to connect the dots about his salary. Against the trends, the media has since established that Teenage Hadebe is earning over one million rands monthly.

The former Kaizer Chiefs star Teenage Hadebe pockets around R15.5 million per annum as his guaranteed compensation, which includes a marketing bonus.

Several Zimbabwean media outlets have also seemingly confirmed the news.

Despite earning way above the top earners in the Premier Soccer League, his salary is reportedly R10 million less than he earned during his stint with Houston Dynamo.

The MLS publicly reveals its player salaries, and Hadebe earned in the region of R25 million annually while with the Dynamo.

The star has undoubtedly been winning big since his move to Europe, but his stints in North America have made him richer.

CAREER
Teenager Hadebe started his career with Bantu in 2012. Because of his command of the game, he joined Zimbabwean giants Highlanders on loan in 2015.

In 2016, he joined Chicken Inn and left the club for Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs in 2017. However, Teenage Hadebe left the Soweto giants for Turkish outfit Yeni Malatyaspor after two seasons.

However, in 2021, he signed with Major League Soccer outfit Houston Dynamo. In 2024, he returned to the Turkish league after his stint with the Houston Dynamo.

Just after over ten league appearances, he returned to the MSL after FC Cincinnati came knocking. Back home, he has been winning big with Zimbabwe.

Teenage Hadebe was part of the Zimbabwean squad that qualified for AFCON 2025 in Morocco.
