Rory McIlroy was the only other active sportsperson in the main rankings.

Lewis Hamilton is the most affluent active sports star in Rich List history with a £224 million fortune, according to the latest annual figures published by the Sunday Times.

Hamilton’s wealth rose by £37m over the past year, thanks to a lucrative ongoing contract with Mercedes, taking him past the £200m mark boasted by David Beckham at the time of his retirement in 2013.

Rory McIlroy is the only other sports star to make the main Rich List rankings, having seen his fortune rise by £32m to £170m on the back of a return to form and a series of sponsorship deals.

France international Pogba is one of five Manchester United players on the list, with goalkeeper David de Gea – with a fresh deal – up to £34m, Anthony Martial on £20m and Luke Shaw on £19m, with the final being a loan player, Odion Ighalo, whose future at Old Trafford remains unclear owing to the coronavirus pandemic and his proposed return to Shanghai Shenhua.

Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante is a new entry, with a value of £25m, while England captain Harry Kane has seen his value rise from £16m to £24m.

Young Rich List Top 10:

1. Gareth Bale  (£114m)
2. Anthony Joshua (£107m)
3. Paul Pogba (£50m)
4. Kevin De Bruyne (£34m)
5. David De Gea (£34m)
6. Raheem Sterling (£28m)
7. N’Golo Kante (£25m)
8. Harry Kane (£24m)
9. Daniel Sturridge (£22m)
