Frank Lampard Net Worth

Frank Lampard has a net worth of $100 million.

In 2001, he signed for rival London club Chelsea for £11million. He has made 164 consecutive Premier League appearances (a record for an outfield player) since his debut with the team. He is also the club’s vice-captain and all-time leading goalscorer. He earned the highest salary of any footballer in Britain when he signed a lucrative contract in 2008.

Over time, that deal has steadily increased, reaching its current value of £140,000 a week (£7.3m a year). Since then, he has won his first Champions League Final (1998) and his second FA Cup winner’s medal (2009). In the 2009-10 seasons Lampard played a key role in securing Chelsea’s first league and FA Cup Double, while in 2012, he captained the club to their first UEFA Champions League success, and a year later to their first UEFA Europa League title.

In June 2011, Frank Lampard was named the 49th highest-earning athlete in the world as a result of all the honors he has received so far. He has also become England’s most prolific penalty taker, with nine goals.

He represented England over 100 times and was a key player for Chelsea during their golden years in the 2000s, but Lampard’s commercial brand wasn’t particularly strong. Lampard earned less through endorsement deals than other English stars like David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. In spite of this, he still earned plenty through his sponsorships with Adidas and Pepsi, Sources stating that these were worth around $4 million each.

He is Rotary’s ambassador after becoming the club’s top goalscorer during his 12 years at Stamford Bridge, creating crucial goals in the league, FA Cup, and Champions League in addition to a record-breaking number of consecutive appearances and more than 100 England caps.

Over the course of his career, Lampard has contributed a great deal to charities, either by donating or raising awareness. He has been closely associated with a number of cancer awareness and research groups, including Clic Sargent, which focuses on childhood cancer issues. Lampard is also involved in a number of Chelsea-related charity endeavors, donating items for auction, and supporting the humanitarian organization ‘Small Steps Project’ with donations of football boots.
