That arrangement was part of a deal allowing Savea to compete in Japan while remaining under contract to New Zealand Rugby. He returned to the Kobe Steelers for the 2025–26 campaign before his departure from the club was announced in June 2026.

As with his broader net worth, his precise salary, bonuses and contractual terms have not been officially disclosed.

Business interests beyond rugby

Savea has also pursued commercial opportunities outside the sport. Together with his wife Saskia, he co-founded ASAV, a clothing label focused on casual wear and streetwear. The brand gave the couple a foothold in the fashion industry beyond Savea's playing career.

He has additionally explored athlete representation and brand partnerships, though the income generated by those activities has not been publicly quantified. This makes it difficult to assess how much his business interests contribute to his overall financial picture.
