WAGs (Wives AndGirlfriends) denote the spouse or partner of a footballer. This forms a minor yet intriguing subplot surrounding top players in the sport.
Every action they take garners as much attention as the athletes themselves. Standing at the epicenter of the limelight beside her famous spouse or partner, she becomes a focal point. Despite the less admirable views surrounding those instigating numerous scandals, public curiosity remains undiminished.
The British newspaper Daily Mail listed 10 individuals with the highest combined wealth among wax figures worldwide on the 24th (in Korean time).
The British girl group Little Mix member Perrie Edwards was placed at number 10. She got engaged to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (who plays for Besiktas) in 2016 and they tied the knot in 2022. It is reported that she has accumulated total assets worth approximately 11.6 million pounds, equivalent to around 21.9 billion won.
Joint seventh place includes Edurne García, the spouse of soccer player David de Gea from Fiorentina; Ana Ivanović, married to ex-Bayern Munich and German national team member Bastian Schweinsteiger; and Becky G, engaged to previous West Ham United midfield player Sebastian Letgert. García has worked as a Spanish broadcast journalist for over two decades, while Ivanović was renowned during the early-to-mid-2000s in international women’s tennis. Meanwhile, Becky G, known for her music career and entrepreneurial ventures, holds multiple nominations for Latin Grammys. Together, their combined wealth amounts to £13.2 million (approximately 25 billion Korean won).
Wayne Rooney’s spouse, Coleen, ranks sixth with her net worth standing at 14.7 million pounds (approximately 27.8 billion won). She gained significant media coverage for her appearance on a UK television show, particularly during Wayne Rooney's active years as a football star.
Antonella Rokuzzo, Lionel Messi's spouse, ranks fifth. Their relationship began when they were childhood friends, and their wedding in 2017 garnered significant public interest. Post-marriage, she maintains a substantial following of 40 million fans across various social media platforms among celebrity circles. Her combined wealth totals approximately 15.5 million pounds, equivalent to around 29.3 billion Korean won.
In fourth position is Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who is married to Andre Gray (Fatih Karagümlük). After departing from Little Mix in 2022, she wedded Gray in Jamaica the next year. She has since been focusing on her role as a cosmetics ambassador and developing a swimwear line. Her net worth is approximately £1.4 million (around KRW 36.7 billion).
In third position is Anna Levandowska, who is married to Roberto Lewandowski from Barcelona. Although she was previously known as a karate athlete having secured multiple titles at both world and European levels, after her marriage, she achieved significant success through her ventures into healthy foods, dietary supplements, and fitness businesses. Her net worth stands at approximately 34.8 million pounds, which equates to around 65.9 billion Korean won.
Pilar Rubio, the spouse of Sergio Ramos, who recently extended his contract, secured the second position with assets totaling £45.7 million (approximately 86.6 billion won). Despite marrying Ramos in 2012, she continued to grow her wealth through her work as a model and involvement in clothing brands.
The top prize goes to Victoria Beckham. As a one-time member of the Spice Girls who tied the knot with David Beckham, she has remained active through ventures like starting a fashion label and securing endorsement deals. Her popularity endures globally. To date, her amassed wealth totals approximately 54.2 million pounds, which equates to around 102.7 billion won.
