He scored three goals in 33 games, and also had a loan spell with Ipswich Town, before leaving for Mallorca in 2012.
Dos Santos also helped Mexico win gold at the 2012 London Olympics, beating Brazil 2-0 in the final at Wembley.
Dos Santos, 35, retired in 2021 and has since had a business buying and selling luxury cars in his home country.
But the 106-cap international has now become the JR Ewing of football by investing in Procura Mexico.
The company is part of the country's state-owned oil giant Pemex.
And Dos Santos is reported to be earning up to £400,000 a year from Pemex, Latin America's second-largest oil company.
A source said: "According to our information, his new job brings him in four to five hundred thousand dollars a year - over 10 million Mexican pesos."
Barcelona academy product Dos Santos was once dubbed the new Lionel Messi.
He also had spells with Galatasaray, Racing Santander, Villarreal, LA Galaxy and Mexico's Club America before hanging up his boots.
Dos Santos played eight times for Ipswich in 2009, scoring four Championship goals.
He comes from a footballing family with his brother, Jonathan, also a successful pro.
He also came through the youth ranks at Barcelona.
He went on to play for Villarreal before moving to the MLS with LA Galaxy.
He then returned to Mexico to join Club America in 2022 and is still playing for the club.
