      Thanks to this, the group have a net worth of over £44million.
      But their fortune does not only come from YouTube, though ad revenue on the site does reportedly bring in at least £1.6m a year.
      The business savvy Sidemen have also dipped their toes into a host of other projects.
      One branch of this merchandising is through clothing.

      Clothing is estimated to bring in up to £1.6m.
      And it is not hard to see why, with Sidemen branded T-shirts reaching up £30, hoodies reaching £60 and jackets reaching as high as £90.

      Airpod cases, water bottles, phone cases, bucket hats, backpacks and even a basketball and table tennis set are among the other items fans can treat themselves too.
      However, clothing is far from the last thing in the Sidemen portfolio.
      Property is a huge part of a number of their collections too, with Miniminter and Vikkstar123 having a particularly large stake of their wealth in various properties.
      Indeed, fans get literally sink their teeth into some tasty treats thanks to the groups very own fast food chain, Sides.
      While KSI and Logan Paul have taken the world by storm by their PRIME Hydration drink – making Alisha Lehmann the latest big name star to join the crew – Sides is at a far smaller stage of development.
      Last year they announced a stunning partnership with Farnham Town FC – who currently play in the ninth tier of English football.

      The chain has a host of restaurants across England and South Wales, including BOXPARK Croydon and Wembley in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Sunderland.
      Given they have been around for a decade now, they have also added XIX Vodka to their portfolio to appeal to their older demographic of fans.
      For book worms there is also the Sidemen Book, estimated to have sold over 26,000 copies within its first three days of publication back in 2016.
      This remarkably put them at No1 ahead of chef Jamie Oliver and the autobiography of former motorcycle rider Guy Martin in the Christmas book charts.
      There is also a subscription service called Side+ for exclusive content not posted elsewhere.

      Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois combined net worth: How much have the pair earned in their careers?

      by

      DANIEL DUBOIS will look to cause one of the great heavyweight upsets when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.The Brit, 25, suffered the first professional defeat of his career three years ago when compatriot Joe Joyce earned a 10th round stoppage victory.
      Oleksandr Usyk, left, and Daniel Dubois, right, will face off in Poland on Saturday nightCredit: Richard Pelham / The Sun
      Since then, Dubois has put together a four-fight winning streak and obtained the WBA regular title.
      But he remains a heavy underdog heading into the clash – which will take place at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland on Saturday night.
      That is because Dubois is coming up against an all-time great in Ukrainian Usyk, 36.
      The former cruiserweight king was a decorated amateur, claiming gold at the 2012 Olympic Games.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He then turned pro and won a world title in just his 10th fight.
      Usyk went on to become undisputed champion in the 200lb division, before he moved up to heavyweight and dethroned Anthony Joshua.
      He defeated AJ again in their rematch last year, with this the first defence of his title since then.
      But what are the two fighters’ career earnings heading into this heavyweight dust-up?

      Usyk’s last two fights were wins over Anthony JoshuaCredit: Getty
      Neither man’s net worth has been officially reported, but Usyk’s career earnings are estimated to be around the £60m mark.
      The majority of that came in his last outing – the rematch with Joshua in Saudi Arabia – where he collected in the region of £42m.
      He earned £15m from the first AJ fight – which took place in London – and £1.8m for the clash with Derek Chisora in 2020.
      His purse for his heavyweight debut against Chaz Witherspoon was about £1m, but before that he had never received a seven-figure sum.
      His highly-anticipated clash with Tony Bellew in 2018 saw him earn £750,000.
      Before that, all of his purses were under the £400,000 mark.
      He is expected to rake in £4.9m for the Dubois clash.
      What is Daniel Dubois’ net worth?
      Dubois’ career earnings are substantially less than Usyk’sCredit: Getty
      Unlike Usyk, Dubois has only cracked the £1m mark for one of his fights so far.
      That came in the all-British bout with Joyce in 2020.
      As a result, his career earnings are only thought to be in the region of £5m.
      He began earning six-figure sums when he took on Richard Lartey in April 2019.
      A steady set of purses ranged between £100,000 and £500,000 prior to the Joyce fight – before he earned £1.75m for that blockbuster clash.
      In the three years that have followed, he has pulled in a further £1.8m across four fights.
      But now he is set to receive another life-changing cheque on Saturday.
      Read More on The Sun
      Dubois will earn around £1.6m for the Usyk fight – making it his second-highest payday to date.
      After Saturday night, Usyk and Dubois’ combined net worth will exceed £70m. More

      Who is Jorge Vilda Rodríguez?
      Jorge Vilda Rodríguez is a Spanish football coach and manager.
      He was born on July 7, 1981, in Madrid.
      He has been head coach of Spain’s women’s national football team since 2015.
      Vilda was once a football player himself, having been a part of Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and FC Barcelona’s youth teams.

      But after two major knee injuries at the age of 17, he moved into coaching instead.
      Much of Vilda’s coaching career has seen him involved with Spain’s women’s youth squads.
      He took on the role of assistant coach at WU17 and WU19 level before becoming the head coach for Spain’s WU17s in 2009, a position he held for five years.
      Vilda is married to his wife María, who he reportedly shares two children with.

      Much of Vilda’s private life is kept out of the spotlight.
      How did Jorge Vilda become Spain’s women’s football manager?
      Vilda took on the role of manager of Spain’s women’s football team in 2015.
      His coaching career began with CD Canillas, a small neighbourhood club in Madrid. 
      He then moved into working with the Spain’s national women’s youth teams, eventually working his way up to become manager of the senior team.
      Vilda’s stint with Spain’s women’s team, while nearing a decade long, has not been without some hurdles.
      In September 2022, fifteen of Spain’s players wrote letters to the Spanish football federation threatening to quit if Vilda was not fired.
      In the letters, the players spoke about the impact Vilda’s coaching had on “their emotional state and their health”.
      The federation responded to the letters in a statement, demanding the players apologise to their manager.
      The statement added that the federation would “not allow the players to question the continuity of the national coach and his coaching staff, since making those decisions does not fall within their powers”.
      The letters came shortly after Spain reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 Euros, where they were defeated by England.
      The Lionesses went on to win the tournament, and Spain’s players were thought to be disgruntled with team selection, training sessions and how injuries were managed at the competition.
      Vilda later spoke out about the drama, saying he had not considered resigning.
      He said: “It would be unfair, for what we created in the past and are in the present.”
      However, Vilda picked three of the 15 Spain players who mutinied against him in his World Cup 2023 squad.
      The team snubbed Vilda as they celebrated reaching the final.
      What is Jorge Vilda’s net worth?
      Reports suggest Vilda has an estimated net worth between £1.5million and £4million.

      He has likely amassed this fortune through his work as a football coach in Spain.
      The manager is thought to take home over £354,000 annually. More
