The Glorious Mansions of 50 Soccer Stars: How They Used Their Millions
David James – £3 million, Chudleigh
David James had a stunning career as a footballer after making 572 Premier League appearances but had a shocking habit of going through boots like toilet paper. Things have not always been rosy, though. James eventually declared bankruptcy in 2014 despite having earned an estimated $27-$32 million. He was forced to sell his memorabilia to keep his house in Chudleigh.
The good news is that things are looking up. James leads a simple life with his four children and his partner, Amanda Salmon. In 2021, he launched a campaign to recycle one million football boots that would otherwise be discarded.
