Henrikh Mkhitaryan net worth and salary: Henrikh Mkhitaryan is an Armenian football player who has a net worth of $4 million. He plays as a midfielder for both the Armenian national team and for the German Bundesliga club, Borussia Dortmund. Mkhitaryan is Armenia's all-time top goal-scorer, scoring 12 goals in 43 international matches since his debut in January 2007. Mkhitaryan was chosen as Armenian Footballer of the Year in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. In 2012, he was voted the best Shakhtar player of 2011–12 season by the fans, and by Ukraine Premier League MVP. Mkhitaryan was also voted the CIS Footballer of the Year for 2012, making him the first Armenian footballer to be named the best player from post-Soviet countries; he received the same award again in 2013. Mkhitaryan is currently one of the most important members of the Armenian national team.
He debuted on the Armenian team in a friendly match against Panama in 2007. He scored six goals for Armenia in UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying Group B, and became the top goal-scorer in that group. Although Armenia did not advance past the qualifying stage for UEFA Euro 2012, Mkhitaryan's performances landed him in the UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifying Dream Team with six goals. He is capable of playing both second striker and attacking midfielder and has been praised for his technique, movement, accurate passing, dribbling, creativity, ball control, and work rate. Mkhitaryan is fluent in five languages: Armenian, Russian, English, French and Portuguese. The death of his father, also a professional football player who died at the age of 33, impacted Henrikh greatly. Those who have seen both Henrikh and his father play say their styles resemble each other quite astoundingly; Henrikh believes his father gave him some useful advice before his passing, and he says he believes his father sees him and is proud of him.
