Paris Saint-Germain players fill all of the top ten in the list put together by French outlet L’Equipe.
Marquinhos and Marco Verratti are the only other two players to be earning more than £200,000, while Angel Di Maria rounds off the top five.
Also included in the list is Keylor Navas, Mauro Icardi, Leandro Paredes, Juan Bernat and Presnel Kimpembe.
The breakdown of Neymar’s earnings sees him make a total of £31.6million per year.
That means that every month the Brazilian is at the club he collects an extraordinary £2.63m.
Neymar has been in talks with PSG over a new contract for some time and is expected to sign a four-year deal in the near future.
And Mbappe is also rumoured to be considering a new contract with Mauricio Pochettino’s side amid speculation he could leave when his deal expires next summer.
It is no surprise PSG have a financial dominance over the rest of Ligue 1.

The Paris-based club have won the French top flight in each of the last three seasons and seven of the last eight.
The only team to thwart their dominance was Monaco when they lifted the trophy with the help of Mbappe in 2017.
And in Europe, PSG will be hoping to go one step further this season than they did in the 2019-20 campaign when they lost the Champions League final to Bayern Munich.
