Bloggað um Wayne Rooney og frú í UK

Mr. and Mrs. Rooney are up in arms because the amount of cash they earn has been revealed in detail. The Manchester United striker and his wife—together worth around £35 million—are locked in a bitter court battle with sports agency Proactive.
Rooney has several lucrative deals going on at the moment, on top of his basic £90,000 per week for playing at United.

He receives £760,000 twice yearly for his image rights (seems a tad expensive to me, no offence Roon). He also rakes in £1 million a year from Nike, £118,689.57 twice a year from computer games giant EA, and has made £3.55 million so far from a 12-year, five-book deal.

Former supermarket checkout girl Coleen has earned £283,334 for an eight-book deal. That must be riveting stuff all about her journey from the checkout to WAG—but hey, if people buy it, good luck to her.

The 22-year-old also pockets £41,667 a month for her column in OK!, £13,000 for each of the 10 episodes of her Coleen’s Real Women TV show, and £5,000 a month for her column in Closer.

£41,667 a month for a column in OK! is incredible. I just wish someone would pay me 10 percent of that for writing this blog; it's quite time consuming. I can't say I've ever read her column, to be honest.

Also laid bare in the papers filed at a Leeds court was the cost of their wedding, which included £18,933.97 for Wayne’s stag week in Ibiza and £2,622 for a first class return flight to New York for Coleen’s assistant to collect designer jewellery. I would have spent £10 on postage, but there you go; maybe that would have been too easy.

Proactive claims it is owed two months’ commission from the couple. It also says Wayne owes nearly £19,000 for using its credit card to cover stag weekend bills.

A spokesman confirmed a writ was served. He said: “We tried to resolve this and it’s regrettable we had to take this course of action.”

A spokesman for the Rooneys has said: “Wayne and Coleen are angry that this has gone to court
