England captain David Beckham is the highest earning player in the 2006 rich list of British football with an estimated fortune of £75m.

Arsenal ace Dennis Bergkamp (£37m) is the Premiership's richest star ahead of Newcastle's Michael Owen (£30m).

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich holds sway at the top of the overall list compiled by Four Four Two magazine with an estimated worth of £10bn.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho, worth £20m, is the richest manager on the list.

Beckham remained as Britain's highest earning player thanks to a string of endorsement deals as well as his weekly wage of £116,000 at Real Madrid.

Owen's new £102,000-a-week deal at Newcastle boosted his gross annual earnings to £5.3m and helped him climb to third spot.

Robbie Fowler's shrewd investment in property and business ventures kept the Manchester City player fourth with a fortune of £28m.

Mourinho's lucrative advertising deals with American Express and Samsung make him the wealthiest manager in British football.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson are the only other managers to make the top 100.

Russian oil and industry tycoon Abramovich is worth five-times more than his nearest rivals Joe Lewis when it comes to the list's big-money men.

Lewis, who holds shares in Rangers and Tottenham, is now worth £2bn.

US tycoon Malcolm Glazer makes his first appearance in the list in fifth spot with a fortune of £735m after he bought out Manchester United in the summer.

Lancashire mulit-millionaire Trevor Hemmings, who has stakes in Preston and Charlton - as well as owning this year's Grand National winner Hedgehunter - comes in at sixth with £730m.
