Frank Lampard Net Worth

Frank Lampard has a net worth of $90 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.

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.
