Everton forward Wayne Rooney has long been one of the highest-paid players in world football, with a combination of Manchester United wages and many endorsements swelling his bank accounts considerably. Wayne Rooney's net worth has put him on lists of the richest footballers for many years.
In March, Goal.com reported Rooney's net worth at an estimated $130.5 million. Celebritynetworth.com estimated Rooney's net worth at $145 million.
Rooney's new deal at Everton is almost certainly less than the lucrative numbers he commanded at Manchester United, but the England captain is bound to be one of the highest-paid Everton players.
As the second-highest scorer in Premier League history behind only Alan Shearer, Rooney hasn't just been sitting back collecting checks. He's earned his ridiculously high net worth, albeit by playing a silly game.
