Football over the years has witnessed a significant surge in monetary gains with FIFA expecting football-generated revenue to reach $11 billion-mark during the 2023-2026 period, however, it is interesting to see how players have benefited from such monetary influx into the sports.

The spot for the richest football couple is tough with power couples such as David and Victoria Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez, Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo, and others.

Despite retiring nearly a decade ago, Beckham along with his wife Victoria surpassed others when it comes to football's richest couple with a net worth of around £412.1 million — courtesy of the former's lucrative deals such as a lifetime contract with Adidas, coupled with Victoria's own clothing brand, reported goal.com citing Gambling Zone.

The Beckhams are trailed by Ronaldo and Georgina with a net worth of around £410.5 million after the former inked the world's biggest football contract when he joined the Saudi club Al Nassr.

In the third spot, we have Messi and his wife Antonela, who have a reported net worth of around £182 million and are closely followed by former English footballer Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen with £181 million net worth — courtesy of the former's role as Birmingham City FC's manager.

Furthermore, the couple have also starred in their own documentary.

Meanwhile, the fifth richest couple in football is Spanish footballer Sergio Ramos and his partner Pilar Rubio with a £120.2 million net worth.
