[Saba Sports News] According to UK media reports, Wayne Rooney’s net worth is estimated to be around £126 million. This significant wealth primarily comes from his high salary during his playing career, reportedly nearing £20 million per year at one point. In addition, he has earned substantial income through various endorsement deals with brands such as Nike, Ford, Coca-Cola, and Nokia.
Recently, Rooney revealed on the show “Match of the Day” that he has lost hearing in his left ear. While discussing the latest match results, he gestured to staff to place the earpiece on his right ear, explaining, “Can I use this ear? I can’t hear out of my left ear.”
Due to Rooney’s status as a Premier League legend, he has been prohibited from returning to Manchester United to watch his son Kai’s training and matches. Kai currently plays for Manchester United’s youth team and has already represented the club’s U18 side. He signed a boot sponsorship deal with Puma when he was just 11 years old. In response, Rooney said, “Kai once told me it doesn’t help that I come because I can’t see him play. That’s unfortunate, but it’s unavoidable. The fans have helped me get to where I am today.”
