    Zlatan Ibrahimovic – £150m
    Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still playing for AC Milan aged 41, meaning he is still on a footballer’s wage.

    According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ibrahimovic is worth a mega £150m.

    Old Trafford legend Wayne Rooney was named manager of MLS side DC United on a reported £800,000-a-year deal.

    And that’s not factoring in the countless sponsorship and endorsement deals each fighter can snag outside the ring. 
    From seven-figure streaming deals to strip clubs and documentaries, we reveal the deals behind top earners’ estimated net worths. 
    Deontay Wilder, $30m

    As one of the top heavyweights in the world, Wilder’s purses are in the millions. 
    He was paid $28million for his Tyson Fury rematch, and $20million for his Luiz Ortiz rematch in 2020.

    But the boxer is no stranger to an endorsement deal – it is thought he had made $500,000 from brand work.
    He’s put his name to Everlast Boxing, fast food restaurant Raising Cane’s and PureKana CBD. 
    Gennady Golovkin, $35m

    The Kazakh star may not be a big personality but he’s certainly unleashed his earning potential. 
    Last year, Golovkin was thought to pocket $20million from his bout with Mexican fighter Canelo Alvarez.

    And he could rival Alvarez’s earning potential too – he signed a three-year six-fight agreement for $100million with streaming site DAZN. 
    He has also had sponsorship deals with Nike, Hublot watches and Tecate beer during his career.

    The catchweight was handed a two-year ban for unintentionally doping but is in no danger of going broke. 
    Khan reckons he’s made over $80million over the course of his boxing career. 
    But in his reality show Meet the Khans, his wife Faryal Makhdoom took control of his finances after Khan admitted he had “no idea” where $6.25million of his own cash had gone. 
    He and his wife have been building a luxury wedding venue in his hometown Bolton. 
    Oleksandr Usyk, $56m 
    Ukranian Usyk has made over £1million of his fortune from endorsement dealsCredit: EPA
    Before his two fights with Anthony Joshua in the last two years, the Ukrainian had only received two purses over £1million. 
    Without the two Joshua fights, Usyk’s career earnings would be around an estimated £6million but the profile boost has landed him in good stead.
    The low key fighter’s endorsement deals are thought to be worth around $1.2million with clothing maker Jaxet, BoxRaw and WePlay Esports.
    Wladimir Klitschko, $90m

    For Klitschko’s last two fights he earned a staggering $36million in total, sweetening his defeats against Fury and Joshua. 
    Although he retired in 2017, he earned an estimated pre-tax $200million during the entirety of his boxing career. 
    Hunky Klitschko – who once dated actress Hayden Panettiere – also earned a fair whack from sponsorship deals with Hugo Boss, gym McFit and Mercedes Benz. 
    Last year, he joined the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Brigade in the war against Russia but has been plotting a return to the ring to fight Fury. 
    Canelo Alvarez, $180m

    The Mexican super middleweight signed a $365million fight contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s promotion company and DAZN. 
    The deal has set Canelo on a path to become one of the richest sportsmen. 
    Between June 2018 and June 2019, Canelo earned $95million from his fights and deals, according to Marca.
    He’s sponsored by Mexican beer company Tecate, cognac Hennessy and Cleto Reyes boxing gloves.

    The Gypsy King signed a $99million contract for five fights from ESPN in 2021. 
    Fury picked up $27.5million for his third fight with Deontay Wilder, $31million against Dillian Whyte and $26million in his most recent clash with Derek Chisora. 
    And the Morecambe-based boxer’s cheeky personality leaves him in demand for personal appearances too. 
    He was paid $15million for a single appearance at WWE’s Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia where he wrestled Braun Strowman. 
    His Netflix 10-part docuseries and his four autobiographies will no doubt have paid a pretty penny too. 
    Anthony Joshua, $211m

    The Watford-born powerhouse reportedly earned a staggering $76million for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last year.
    Recently he left Sky Sports to sign an exclusive contract with DAZN that will see him rake in another $125million in exchange for two fights every 12 months until he retires.
    But outside the ring Joshua is expected to have raked in at least $122million through coveted sponsorship deals.  
    Sports clothing Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Land Rover and Jaguar are all worth millions to Joshua and saw him earn a total of $11million in 2021.
    Manny Pacquiao, $220m

    During his career, Pac-man has earned at least $500million from fights and endorsements including a $35million from a fight against Miguel Cotto.
    In 2015, Forbes named the Filipino the second richest athlete in the world. 
    He retired from his fighting career in 2021 and has since had cameos in mainly Filipino movies.
    He also served as a senator in the Philippine government from 2016 to 2022 and was a presidential candidate in the 2022 elections.
    But he’s put his good fortune to use too – in 2015 he built 1,000 homes for the poor in the Philippines. 
    Floyd Mayweather Jr, $450m

    Who is Erling Haaland?
    Erling Haaland was born in Leeds on July 21, 2000, as his dad was playing for the West Yorkshire club at the time.
    His father, Alfie Haaland, then transferred to Man City – the club his son would join from Borussia Dortmund 22 years later.
    Prior to moving to Manchester, Haaland began his career at Bryne before moving to fellow Norwegian side Molde.
    His talents were there for all to see and Red Bull Salzburg quickly made the move to capture the striker’s signature.
    READ MORE ON ERLING HAALAND
    After only 16 games for the club, German giants Borussia Dortmund snapped him up.
    He scored 62 goals in 67 games for the Bundesliga outfit resulting in interest from Man City.
    At the time, he was the most sought after player in world football but it was Guardiola who managed to secure his services in a deal worth £51.2m.
    On April 19, 2023, Haaland scored in City’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena to put the tie beyond the German side.
    Most read in Football
    They will now face Real Madrid in the semi-finals, a side who were competing with Man City for the striker’s signature when it became apparent that he was looking to leave Dortmund.
    The Norwegian striker has 12 goals in eight games in the 2022/23 Champions League campaign, as the club heads into the semis.
    This makes him the tournament’s top goal scorer by some distance.
    As of April 2023, Erling has 23 caps and 21 goals for his country.
    Heartbreakingly for the football ace, Norway failed to make it to the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
    Erling is also a record-breaker, having broken the long jump world record for five-year-olds in 2006.
    He leapt 1.63 metres.
    What is Erling Haaland’s net worth?
    At 22 years old, Haaland is still in the early part of his career but he has already amassed a net worth thought to be in the region of £32m.
    That figure will no doubt increase substantially annually with the success he is enjoying on the field with Man City.
    What is Erling Haaland’s Man City salary?
    While Erling Haaland’s weekly wage is in line with the top earners at the club, he has a series of bonuses built into his contract.
    These are easily achievable bonuses which offset his weekly wage and take him to a staggering £865,000 per work.
    It is believed he earns £45m per year at Man City.
    Is Erling Haaland dating anyone?
    Haaland has been dating Isabel Haugseng Johansen since his Borussia Dortmund days, with the pair secretly dating at first.
    Since his move to England, the pair have been seen several times attending events together.
    Johansen plays for Norwegian football club Bryne, where Haaland started his career.
    Who is Erling Haaland’s sister Gabrielle?
    Erling’s sister, Gabrielle Braut Haaland, is an Instagram personality and has in excess of 108k followers.
    She got married in 2020 and the following year the pair welcomed their first child.
    Gabrielle is very active on the social media platform and constantly shares pictures of her adventures with her family.
    As she is incredibly close with her brother, Erling often appears in pictures with the family also.
    Who are Erling Haaland’s parents?
    Erling is the son of ex-Norwegian footballer Alfie Haaland and heptathlon athlete Gry Marita Braut.
    His mother won the country’s national title competing in the 800-metres, 200-metres, long jump, and javelin.
    Alfie won 34 caps for Norway and appeared at the 1994 World Cup Finals.
    Coming from such a sporty family, it was on the cards that their son would excel in some field of sport.
    Read More on The Sun
    His dad often advises him on his football career and the big Man City striker rarely makes any decisions without the input of his father.
    Alfie’s tight links with his former club is believed to have had an influence on Erling’s decision to sign for them. More

    In 2020, Wolff also purchased a stake in Aston Martin, who have close links with Mercedes.

    “I think I can contribute. But, if one day I come to the conclusion, or people that are close to me are going to tell me that I’m not, then I will consider giving the baton to somebody else.
