#16 Yaya Toure: Net worth - $70m
When it comes to salaries, Manchester City pay their players ridiculous amounts. Yaya Toure who is estimated to have a net worth of around $70 million, earns a massive £220,000 per week thanks to the contract he signed way back in April 2013. This adds up to about $15 million per year in salaries along with other bonuses.
The Ivorian has a sponsorship deal with German sportswear manufacturer Puma from which he earns a cool $2,50,0000 a year. The deal, in fact, gives Toure so much influence that he managed to convince the company to distribute apparel to the underprivileged kids in Africa.
Toure also earns another $1m through his endorsement with Nissan which brings his annual endorsement earnings to about $3m according to Forbes. He is currently the third richest African footballer behind Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto’o.
#15 John Terry: Net worth - $70m
A significant portion of John Terry’s earnings is from his on-field salary. At Chelsea, Terry has consistently earned about £150,000 per week for the last 5-10 years and that could skyrocket if he decides to end his playing career at China.
Terry has also made serious money through real estate. The Chelsea defender made a huge profit of €13.5m after selling his nine-bedroom mansion in Surrey for €21m.
The 35-year-old has recently seen his endorsement deals suffer due to a number of controversies though. Umbro, who had a long-time sponsorship deal with the former England international, dropped him after allegations of racial abuse, a case that eventually went to trial.
All in all, Terry still makes it to the top 20 with a net worth of $70m.
