Vinnie Jones, the former footballer turned Hollywood hardman, has an estimated net worth of £8 million ($10 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth. The figure comes as Netflix releases its documentary 'Untold UK: Vinnie Jones', which explores the 61-year-old's career from his early days as a defensive midfielder to his iconic film roles.
Jones earned his wealth through football and acting. He played for clubs including Wimbledon, Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Queens Park Rangers, and captained the Wales national team. His football career, however, took place before the huge boom in players' wages; at QPR he reportedly earned around £10,000 per week.
His acting roles proved more lucrative. For his supporting role in the film 'Swordfish', starring John Travolta and Hugh Jackman, he was paid £2 million for just 49 words of dialogue, equating to roughly £40,816 per word. He also reportedly received £300,000 for his participation in the Netflix documentary.
Jones currently lives on a 2,000-acre countryside estate in Petworth, West Sussex, half of which he leases. The property's value is unknown but is estimated to be in the millions.
