Jesse Lingard is an English attacking midfielder who plays for Corinthians in Brazil. A Manchester United academy graduate, he won the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Community Shield and the Europa League with United, scoring in three of those finals, and he played for England at the 2018 World Cup. He has also played for West Ham, Nottingham Forest and FC Seoul.
The Sunday Times valued his wealth at £10 million in May 2022, about $13.4 million at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. That put him joint 32nd among the 34 footballers on its list of the richest people in the UK aged 30 and under.
How he made his money
Lingard's wealth comes mainly from his long career at Manchester United, where he spent more than 20 years from the academy to the first team, plus sponsorship deals and his JLingz clothing brand.
The reports we checked did not break down his fortune, so this page gives only the headline figure.
Career at a glance
Born in Warrington, Lingard had loan spells at Leicester, Birmingham, Brighton and Derby before Louis van Gaal gave him a regular place at United in 2015. He is one of only three players to score in FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield finals.
After falling out of favour he revived his career on loan at West Ham in 2021. He joined Nottingham Forest in 2022, moved to FC Seoul in 2024 and later signed for Corinthians. He won 32 caps for England and scored against Panama at the 2018 World Cup.
About this estimate
The Sunday Times publishes its Rich List every spring, along with a list of the 100 richest people in the UK aged 30 and under. The May 2022 edition included 34 footballers, and the Daily Star printed all of them with their figures. It valued Lingard's wealth at the amount shown on this page. The paper bases its numbers on identifiable wealth such as earnings after tax, property and company stakes, not on salary alone.
This is the most recent Sunday Times figure for Lingard that we could find. It has not been updated since 2022, so his wealth today is likely different. We show the figure as published, in pounds, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 30, 2026 exchange rate. Transfer fees and wages mentioned on this page are club spending or earnings, not wealth.
