They said their ‘I do’s’ six years later.
7. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Ana Ivanovic, £85m
German World Cup winner Schweinsteiger is marred to tennis ace Ana Ivanovic – a former world No1 who won the 2008 French Open.
And he took a leaf out of Hugh Grant’s book when he proposed to the Serb beauty.
The ex-Man Utd star hired a park that was used in the film Notting Hill to ask for his beloved’s hand in marriage.
Who said romance was dead?

Robert Lewandowski and Polish Wag Anna are one of football’s glam duos.
Both are successful in their own fields – Robert is arguably Poland’s greatest ever player and a Bayern Munich legend.

4. Wayne and Coleen Rooney, £181m
Wayne’s fortune was swelled by huge paydays as a player with Man Utd.
Boot deals with Adidas, various other sponsorships, and now a manager’s income has supplemented his net worth.
But in recent times it’s Coleen who is making a packet – through Disney with a documentary about her infamous Wagatha Christie trial.
And previously, with her autobiography and children’s books.
3. Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo, £182m
It’s fair to say the majority of their shared wealth stems from Messi.
The Argentinian is currently earning around £16million-per-year in the MLS playing for Inter Miami.
Antonella trained as a dentist.
But, thanks to her good looks she signed as a model with designer Ricky Sarkany and has designed her own threads too.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez, £411m
A surprise, perhaps, to not see them top of the tree. Although, their time will come.
Ronaldo is the highest paid playing sports star on the planet.
His contract with Al-Nassr is said to be worth £173million-per-year.
Gorgeous Georgina, a former shop assistant with Gucci, is making her own money though – starring in her own Netflix documentary I Am Georgina – think Kardashians but with football.
1. David and Victoria Beckham, £412m
Spice Girl legend Victoria is THE original Wag and her fortune helps her and Becks take top spot by a mere £1million.
She was part of the Baden-Baden crew at the 2006 World Cup, although she was clearly queen.
Not only is she a pop superstar, the glamorous singer has conquered the fashion world with her high-end line.
