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 Lindelöf'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 Lindelöf 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.
