Victoria Beckham tops the richest wives of pro athletes with an estimated $330 million, ahead of Carrie Underwood at $120 million. The list ranks 10 wives of current or former pro athletes by their own estimated net worth as of October 2026, not their husband’s. Shakira and Gisele Bundchen, who topped the old list, are no longer married to athletes and have left it.
| Rank | Wife | Net worth |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Victoria Beckham | $330 million |
| 2 | Carrie Underwood | $120 million |
| 3 | Kate Upton | $50 million |
| 4 | Ayesha Curry | $50 million |
| 5 | Anna Lewandowska | about $45 million |
| 6 | Gabrielle Union | $40 million |
| 7 | Ciara | $20 million |
| 8 | Erin Andrews | $20 million |
| 9 | Bridgette Wilson-Sampras | $8.8 million |
| 10 | Paulina Gretzky | $5.5 million |
1. Victoria Beckham: Net worth $330 million
The Spice Girl turned designer married David Beckham on July 4, 1999. They have four children, and in 2026 the couple’s combined fortune was put at about £1.185 billion on a UK rich list, up from £500 million a year earlier. Most of that jump came from David’s US investments.
Her own label reported 2025 revenue of about £129.8 million and its first operating profit in 18 years, £7.3 million. Our model values her share well below the joint figure, at $330 million, built from the fashion and beauty businesses plus music and brand earnings. We raised our earlier $300 million figure by 10% for the label’s growth.
2. Carrie Underwood: Net worth $120 million
She won American Idol in 2005, came back as a judge in 2025, and has opened Sunday Night Football on NBC since 2013. Her Reflection residency in Las Vegas ran from December 2021 to April 2025, 72 shows and more than 300,000 tickets.
Underwood married former NHL player Mike Fisher in July 2010. The $120 million reflects touring, residency and broadcast income, and is well above the $100 million we carried before.
3. Kate Upton: Net worth $50 million
Four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers (2012, 2013, 2017 and 2024) anchor a modeling and acting career that includes Tower Heist and The Other Woman. She co-owns the canned cocktail company Vosa Spirits and hosted Hulu’s Dress My Tour in 2024.
Her husband is MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, whose career salaries total over $427 million. The two bought a Manhattan penthouse in 2023 for $15.35 million.
4. Ayesha Curry: Net worth $50 million
She began with a cooking blog and YouTube channel, then moved to Food Network with Ayesha’s Homemade. Her business list runs from an olive oil line in 2014 to the Sweet July lifestyle brand launched in 2020.
Ayesha married NBA star Stephen Curry in 2011, and the couple run the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation together. We hold her at $50 million based on her own brand ventures and TV earnings.
5. Anna Lewandowska: Reported net worth about $45 million
A former karate competitor, she built a nutrition and fitness business and has written cookbooks. She is married to striker Robert Lewandowski.
Reports put her wealth near $45 million. We could find only thin sourcing, so treat the figure as a rough estimate rather than a firm valuation.
6. Gabrielle Union: Net worth $40 million
Roles in She’s All That (1999) and Bring It On (2000) made her a star, and Being Mary Jane ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2019. She also voiced Nala in The Lion Guard and wrote a 2017 memoir.
Union married NBA guard Dwyane Wade in 2014. Her $40 million rests on screen earnings, a $20 million Hidden Hills home bought in 2020 and the couple’s shared property.
7. Ciara: Net worth $20 million
The singer has been a Revlon ambassador, co-owns Ten To One Rum, and runs a skincare line called On A Mission. With husband Russell Wilson she formed Why Not You Productions in 2021, tied to Amazon Prime Video.
They are also part owners of Seattle Sounders FC. Our $20 million figure counts her own music, brand and business earnings, not Wilson’s.
8. Erin Andrews: Net worth $20 million
She works the sideline for Fox NFL on a salary reported at $2 million a year. Andrews married former NHL player Jarret Stoll in 2017.
The $20 million is a combined figure with her husband in the source we used, up from the $3 million we carried before. Treat it as a household number, not hers alone.
9. Bridgette Wilson-Sampras: Net worth $8.8 million
Miss Teen USA 1990 went on to roles in Billy Madison, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Mortal Kombat. She married tennis champion Pete Sampras on September 30, 2000, and the couple have two sons.
We raised the earlier $8 million estimate by 10%, the most we allow for older figures, since no newer valuation turned up.
10. Paulina Gretzky: Net worth $5.5 million
Wayne Gretzky’s daughter works as a model, singer and actress, and has an Instagram following that has its own value. She married golfer Dustin Johnson on April 23, 2022, at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee.
The $5.5 million is the earlier $5 million estimate raised by 10%, the cap for figures we could not refresh.

How reliable are the numbers?
They are estimates. Thinly sourced entries such as Anna Lewandowska and Erin Andrews are marked as reported or combined.
How we estimate net worth
Our estimates are based on public reporting, company valuations, and deal and earnings figures all compiled in an internal valuation model. They are approximate, and figures change over time as new information emerges.
For this list we looked at each wife’s own earnings, business stakes, and reported company results, and left out her husband’s contracts. Where only a household figure existed we said so.
