Gary Lineker's net worth is set to increase following a lucrative deal with Netflix for his podcast, The Rest is Football, during the World Cup. The former Match of the Day host, 65, will co-host 40 episodes from New York City alongside Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, with special guests including Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira and Harry Maguire.
Netflix is reported to have paid £14 million for the rights to stream the podcast, which will be available to its 325 million subscribers worldwide. The deal adds to Lineker's estimated £30 million net worth, built from his football career, broadcasting roles and commercial partnerships.
Lineker's wealth has been further boosted by his stake in Goalhanger, the media production company he co-founded in 2018. The company, which employs 80 people, reported £37.9 million in revenue last year and surpassed 250,000 paid subscribers in January. Lineker holds at least a 25% stake in the business, according to Companies House.
