Let’s face it, being a sports star is more than just living out childhood dreams—it’s about banking some serious cash too. Let’s dive into the net worths of some of your favourite Welsh icons.
Leading the pack, no surprise, is football superstar Gareth Bale, sitting at a whopping £115 million. From breaking records at Real Madrid to being Wales’ all-time top scorer, Bale’s career has been a goldmine, bolstered by endorsements from major brands like Adidas.
In the snooker world, Mark Williams is no slouch, boasting an impressive £8.8 million. As a three-time world champion, “The Welsh Potting Machine” has consistently demonstrated his prowess over the green baize, racking up both titles and cash!
Then there’s Gerwyn Price, our darts hero, with earnings of £4.2 million. The Iceman’s cool composure and killer aim won him the 2021 World Darts Championship, proving he’s as sharp with his finances as he is with his darts.
