据日前ZOO杂志的一份报告，鲁尼在退役时可能成为足球生涯中总收入最多的英格兰球星，预计10年后他的总收入将达到1.03亿英镑。排在鲁尼之后的依次是欧文、兰帕德和里奥·费迪南德。目前，已和曼联续约的鲁尼年薪高达590万英镑，同时他还身系六家高额赞助合同，年收入接近千万英镑。如此年少就日进斗金，考虑到他的职业生涯才刚刚进入黄金期，想必曼联前锋鲁尼未来数年的收入还将有大幅度的增加。

Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney

Manchester UnitedaceWayne Rooney is set to earn a staggering 103 million pounds over the next ten years.

The Mirror says Rooney will be the Premiership's top earner as the competition's new TV deal kicks into gear.

Newcastle's Michael Owen is projected to bank 96.1 million pounds in the next 10 years while Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand are next in the table of wealth, pocketing 74.5 million pounds and 71.5 million pounds.

The current generation of top footballers, already awash with cash, are set to break through into the ranks of the super-rich of big business founders and family landowners, according to Zoo magazine's rich list.

Rooney has predicted football earnings of 70m by the time he retires.

He already has a six-year contract signed last November at 5.9 million pounds, but on top of that comes six major sponsorship deals.

With earnings already at 10 million pounds, Rooney has endorsements from Nike, Coke Zero, Asda, Ford Sports, EA Sports and Harper Collins worth a further 17 million pounds. All will be hiked and extended before his career ends.
