No sport on earth can be as rewarding as Football. It’s not just about money, but also the fame you get is unmatched. In the past, it was different from the current situation. Every footballer is crazy rich as their weekly wages are higher than an average worker’s annual savings.
The big hitters are paid a lot more than the one’s struggling for supremacy. Exceptional players like Ibrahimovic, Beckham, Iniesta, Gareth Bale and many others earned huge wages in their careers.

The ex-Manchester United player who has the looks of a Hollywood star has earned plenty in his career. The overall net worth of Beckham is $450 million which also includes the net worth of his wife too. Before retiring he joined LA Galaxy where he raised around $250 million. It is one of the main reasons why he ended up third on this list.
David Beckham edition coming soon!

I really think $200,000+ is a pinch too high for this car. pic.twitter.com/pdKf49XTl0
The player is a brand in himself. Cristiano Ronaldo increases the value of a product if his name gets tied to it. The Manchester United player still earns the highest salary in the Premier League even at the age of 36. In his great career, he has completed some of the biggest milestones in the history of football.
Cristiano also holds the most followers on Social Media ahead of most of the artists and models. In 2021 he was the first player to complete the $1 Billion dollars in earnings. The current net worth of Cristiano is $500 million. It will keep on increasing as there is plenty of football left in him.

The Greatest player in the history of this sport had to be at the top of this list. Messi has stayed at the top level for many years along with Cristiano and broke plenty of records while getting so many trophies to Camp Nou. In return, Messi was having some of the best wages and now his market value is $600 million.
There are plenty more players who earn a lot but the amount of money these 3 have earned is really crazy. In future, as inflation gets increased we may look at different players taking their position. The way football is heading with almost everything based on money it won’t be long when we see new names too often in this list.
