The Sunday Times’ annual list of the wealthy people in Britain, which lists the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families in the UK was released last week.

Within the ranking are numerous athletes and sportspeople, who have used their sporting prowess to accumulate vast wealth through a mixture of wages and sponsorship deals.

While their wealth tends to be nothing compared to business moguls and heiresses, they’re still worth more than most of us could ever dream of.

The list is made up entirely of male athletes, starkly illustrating the gap in earnings in sport between men and women.

14 of the 18 people on this list are footballers either playing in the UK or from the UK, but all are under 30.

The ranking takes into account British athletes, as well as those not originally from the UK, but plying their trade for British-based teams.
