David Beckham has topped the latest football rich list with an estimated fortune over twice that of his nearest rival, Dennis Bergkamp.

FourFourTwo magazine claims the England captain is worth £75million, far outstripping the Arsenal forward who is on £37million and Newcastle striker Michael Owen, who is third on £30million.

Wayne Rooney has risen to 20th but, with just £8million to his name, he is a long way short of either of his international team-mates.

Roy Keane may be out of a job at the moment, but he is unlikely to go short with wealth estimated at £25million.

Whatever Beckham's advantages over his peers, it is nothing compared to Roman Abramovich's, who is the clear winner in the football investors rich list.

With £10billion, his wealth is all but limitless, and five times that of his nearest rival Joe Lewis, who has stakes in Rangers and Tottenham and is down to his last £2billion.

Celtic's Dermot Desmond is a long way behind with £867million in third place while Malcolm Glazer makes his first appearance following his investment in Manchester United.

The American is fifth with £735million, just behind Sir Alan Sugar, who retains a stake in Tottenham and is thought to be worth £760million.
