8. Michael Owen ($37 million of estimated net worth)
As a football (soccer) fan, I still remember those days when I grew up watching this wonder kid played for Liverpool. Now, he is taking a new role as a pundit and co-commentator on BT Sport and sometimes on BBC’s Match of the Day.
Michael Owen was not an ordinary soccer player. On his golden era, he was one of the highest-paid soccer players in the world. He was the star of Liverpool FC. And when he joined Manchester United five years after he left the club, he was disgraced by Liverpool fans.
After he retired from professional football three years ago, he did not jump right into the punditry world. He actually took his time to breed racehorses. And he has been successful in this field.
Owen must have earned a lot of money playing for big clubs. Plus, he must be earning decent amount of money from his current work as a pundit. And those racehorses should also bring some cash home. Thus, his $37 million of estimated net worth sounds about right.
