Manchester City’s star winger, Jack Grealish, and his long-time partner, Sasha Attwood, are expecting their first child together. The announcement comes as Grealish’s net worth has reached impressive new heights.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Grealish, 26, was seen holding Attwood’s pregnant belly, both radiating happiness. He captioned the photo with, “Life’s biggest blessing,” while Attwood shared the same image with the words, “Half of me, half of you, beyond blessed.”
Rising Financial Fortunes
Grealish’s net worth has reportedly soared to £20 million, thanks to his lucrative salary at Manchester City and high-profile endorsement deals. Following his record-breaking £100 million transfer from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish earns around £300,000 weekly, totaling more than £15 million annually. This places him among City’s top earners, just behind stars like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
The ex-Villa captain has also signed a £10 million contract with fashion giant Gucci. His various endorsements, including deals with Pepsi and Puma, suggest that he could be earning close to £1 million per week off the pitch.
Personal and Professional Success
Grealish and Attwood, who have been together since their school days, relocated to a luxurious area of Cheshire following his move to Manchester City. In 2022, Grealish reportedly purchased a £6 million mansion equipped with seven bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.
Attwood, meanwhile, is building her own successful career. As a professional model, she represents major brands such as L’Oreal, House of Fraser, Pretty Little Thing, and Boohoo.
Smart Financial Moves
Dave Powell, a principal business writer for Reach, noted that Grealish’s reported annual income of £15.6 million from City is pre-tax. After taxes, Grealish would take home about £7 million each year.
In 2014, Grealish established a limited company for his image rights, known as Kelandan Ltd. This savvy move ensures his financial stability, even if his playing career doesn’t pan out as expected. Powell explained, “Players have become brands, often more compelling than the clubs themselves. Players and agents have realized the brand value that exists and how it can be monetized.”
Despite not being selected for England’s Euro 2024 squad, Grealish’s strategic decisions and marketability ensure a secure financial future. As he prepares for fatherhood, both his personal and professional lives appear to be flourishing.
