The ten richest British footballers in the world, featuring Manchester United and Chelsea legends alongside Real Madrid Galactico Gareth Bale.

One of Manchester United’s surprising high earners, Ashley Young makes it into the top ten of this list, narrowly ahead of Liverpool new-boy James Milner.
9) Michael Carrick – £10.5m
A long-serving great at Old Trafford, it is no surprise to see that Michael Carrick has earned big money throughout his career, making it to 9th place here.
8) Joe Cole – £17.3m
Formerly of Chelsea, Joe Cole has had a big career in English football and even abroad with Lille, even if he is no longer one of the Premier League’s star players.

The most expensive player of all time, Welshman Gareth Bale is also on this list after his lucrative move from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013.
6) Ashley Cole – £22.4m
A player who left Arsenal for Chelsea in order to get a better contract, it looks like Ashley Cole has done well for himself in terms of winning trophies and getting more money!
5) John Terry – £39.9m
One of the world’s richest footballers, John Terry has consistently been one of the most important and best paid players at Stamford Bridge.
4) Steven Gerrard – £45.6m
Formerly of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard was unsurprisingly a big earner at Anfield and should continue to rake it in at LA Galaxy.

2) Frank Lampard – £57.1m
A huge name in English football, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is one of the greats and that is reflected in his enormous wealth of around £57m.
1) Wayne Rooney – £73.5m
No surprises here, with Manchester United star Wayne Rooney one of the biggest global brands and best players for much of the last decade.
