[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, England captain Harry Kane raked in more than £48 million from on-field wages and off-field revenue last year, and his earning power is set to soar further following the World Cup. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham, another star icon of the Three Lions, has hired a top image rights lawyer who brokered a record £156 million sponsorship deal between golfer Rory McIlroy and Nike. The 32-year-old Kane earns a weekly wage of £400,000 at Bayern Munich, equivalent to an annual salary of £20.8 million. His returns from real estate investments stand at £16.1 million, while HK28 Ltd, the firm managing his commercial partnerships, has seen its assets rise to £11.4 million. Kane has amassed vast sums through image rights and a string of sponsorship agreements. Ahead of the World Cup, he signed partnerships with wellness tech brand Oura Ring and Google Gemini. Sports marketing expert Rich Johnson commented: “Harry could be everywhere and working at full capacity if he wanted to, but he makes extremely measured decisions. His team isn’t chasing quick cash.”
Despite England’s loss to Argentina in last week’s World Cup semi-final, Harry Kane’s income stream will keep growing. As captain of England, Kane delivered consistent performances across the group stage and knockout rounds. Brands have already started raising their offers for him, and boosted by the World Cup hype, his endorsement value is expected to rise further down the line.
