Vinnie Jones, the footballer turned Hollywood hardman, has an estimated net worth of $10 million (£8 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth. The figure comes as his new documentary, Untold UK: Vinnie Jones, premieres on Netflix, offering an in-depth look at his five-decade career.
Football Career Earnings
Jones began his professional football journey as a defensive midfielder for clubs including Wimbledon FC, Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Queens Park Rangers. He also captained the Wales national team. His playing days in the 1980s and 1990s predated the massive wage inflation in modern football. At his peak, he was rumoured to earn £505,000 per week, but later at QPR, his weekly wage was around £10,000.
Acting Paydays
Jones transitioned to acting with iconic roles in Guy Ritchie films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Gentlemen. His most lucrative role came in the 2001 film Swordfish, where he earned £2 million for just 49 words of dialogue – an astonishing £40,816 per word. He also reportedly received £300,000 for his participation in the Netflix documentary.
Lifestyle and Property
Jones resides on a 2,000-acre countryside estate in Petworth, West Sussex, half of which he leases. The property, featured in the Discovery+ series Vinnie Jones in the Country, is estimated to be worth several million pounds.
Untold UK: Vinnie Jones is now available to stream on Netflix.
