Barcelona’s and Spain’s midfield maestro Andres Iniesta has definitely been among the top 10 footballers in the world in the last decade but what is slightly surprising is the fact that the reticent midfielder is also among the 10 richest footballers in the world. Drawing a weekly wage of £165,000 from Barcelona, the 2010 World Cup winner has made ...
Former PSG and Napoli footballer Ezequiel Lavezzi has a net worth of $96 million and most of it is because of the extremely high salary (£400,00/week) he gets from Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune. The Argentine footballer was looking for one final payday after PSG and boy did the winger luck out when Chinese Super League came calling ...
The 10th highest paid footballer (salary) in the world right now, Wayne Rooney is the 8thrichest footballer in the world in terms of net worth. Earning a cool £15.6 million every year, the England international might be playing next season at a new club. Settling for a bit-part role under Jose Mourinho this year, Rooney’s powers as a top notch foot...

The mercurial Swedish striker has played for almost all the top clubs in Europe, having won league titles with all of them except his current club Manchester United. He has represented the likes of Ajax, Inter Mil...

A sponsor’s dream and his country’s (Wales) pin-up boy and best footbal...

While Ronaldo’s and Messi’s endorsement account up to 34% and 36% respectively of their total pay, Neymar earns a whopping 61% of his total earnings through endorsements (facts courtesy – Goal.com).

A former Blackburn Rovers and Crew Alexandra full-back, Dave Whelan is one of the very few footballers known more for his skills in business rather than his skills on the football pitch. Whelan is the owner of former Premier League club Wigan Atheltic. He is also the owner of DW Stadium, the stadium in which Wigan Atheltic and Wigan Warriors (Rugby...
The only footballer ever to win the Ballon d’Or five times, Lionel Messi is an absolute phenomenon. The diminutive Argentine has been Barcelona’s main man since 2008 and has put in some spell bounding performances in the Champions League. With a market value of €120 million, Lionel Messi is the second most valuable player in the world currently. Mo...
Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest paid sportsman in the world this year and it probably comes as a surprise that the Real Madrid superstar does not top the list. He is the Europe’s highest paid player (ahead of Messi) and he has a string of high-profile commercial endorsements as well. Ronaldo earns nearly $53M plus bonuses in a year at Real Madrid....
