Football's financial excesses are nothing new, but the sums involved show little sign of slowing down. The game's biggest stars are no longer simply collecting enormous weekly wages - they have become global brands in their own right, with commercial empires to match their fortunes on the pitch. Unsurprisingly, the summit still belongs to the two icons who have defined the sport for 20 years. Even well into the twilight of their careers - with one swimming in petrodollars out in the desert and the other cashing massive commercial checks under the Miami sun - nobody can quite touch their gargantuan earning power, even as they enter their 40s.
However, a handful of players are closing the gap, including one Premier League star. Despite the wealth flowing through English football, he is the only player from the division to feature in Forbes' top 10 earners list for 2026.
The list also features a teenager, two England internationals and four established Premier League greats. Here, Express Football runs through the top 10.
