Rugby’s Richest Players & How Much they Earn | 2024 Edition

Ever since rugby turned professional after the 95 Rugby World Cup, a rugby salary was never considered to be one of the top earning sports salaries out there.

Rugby earnings in particular, have never compared to the likes of the NFL, Baseball, basketball and football.

And for the amount of battering that these rugby players put their bodies through on a weekly basis to entertain their fans on weekends, it’s a sad truth to grasp that a rugby players salary is still near the bottom of the sporting food chain, for various reasons which we won’t get into right now.

The earnings of rugby players have however, over the years, started to look more and more attractive and some of the top earning rugby players in the world, are making more than a generous living out of the game they love.

Let’s take a look at the top earning rugby players in 2024.

Number 10, Handre Pollard, Leicester Tigers

Number 9, Steven Luatua, Bristol Bears

Number 8, Antoine Du Pont, Toulouse

Number 7, Maro Itoje, Saracens

Number 6, Owen Farrell, Saracens

Number 5, Dan Biggar, Toulon

Number 4, Siya Kolisi, Racing92

Number 3, Faf de Klerk. Yokohama Canon Eagles

Number 2, Cheslin Kolbe, Suntory Sungoliath

Number 1, Finn Russell, Bath

Now these salaries aren't anything too glamorous when you compare it to the type of money Ronaldo is earning in the Middle East, but it's certainly enough money to keep you smiling and not worrying about things like inflation or interest rates spiking.

Bear in mind most of these players are earning a heap more money from endorsements, which are often more lucrative than their annual salary figures.

Thanks for taking the time to watch our video and until next time, take care and happy rugby.
