I guess Abby Wambach saves more of her money then the very cocky Alex Morgan (remember her tea sipping imitation against England).
The last I heard about net worths: Abby: 4 million, Alex: 3 million.
Thanks! I am 21 f with hot pix add me on snap chat at LanaShows
I do not think that anyone knows what you are saying (including me).
Would you care to try again?
The last I heard, Laure Boulleau's net worth was less than one million dollars.
With her salary, I thought that she would have more of a net worth in the one million+ range (especially now that she is retired).
Men and women should get paid the same amount in soccer.
I agree with you completely.
tell that to the people who don't watch or come to the women's games hence, no money to pay them.
Sam Kerr earns roughly 1, 150.00 pounds yearly. And that's only her salary from her new club Chelsea, not to mention her sponsors pay. Maybe you need to update this?
Hope Solo has been out of the picture for some time now.
Thanks for your suggestions. We truly appreciate it.
And yes, we will definitely update this post with your information about Kerr.
I disagree with you that men and women footballers should be equally paid. You are just been ignorant of the truth that men and women are not equal. Moreso,the men football is extremely richer than the women game. therefore, it will be unbias to the natural other of life
