#10 Kaka - $3 Million

Kaka purchased his Madrid mansion when he swapped the San Siro for the Bernabeu 4 years ago. It has been reported that he is currently renting the mansion to new Madrid signing Gareth Bale, who will pay approximately €12,000 per month to live there.

#9 Andre Iniesta - $4.6 Million

Andres Iniesta’s house took around 18 months to build, and with all his career achievements the inside looks quite like a museum. He has ‘Iniesta’ written above one of his windows and has been settled there for 8 years now.

#8 Lionel Messi - $5 Million

Lionel Messi’s $5m valued home measures at 1,300 square feet and is situated in Catalonia. Unsurprisingly he has an indoor football pitch, and he is currently in the process of upgrading to a new house built from scratch. This house would resemble the look of a football from above.

#7 Mario Ballotelli -$5 Million

When Mario Balotelli was departing Manchester City his Cheshire home was placed available for public renting for a huge £13,495 per month. He has a swimming pool, a cinema room and a grass top roof. If a house could tell stories, there’s no doubt that Balotelli’s would have plenty to tell.

#6 Cristiano Ronaldo - $6 million

This is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Cheshire home, where he lived between 2003 and 2009 during his spell at Man United. He had kept the house after leaving the club, but dashed hopes of a return to Old Trafford by putting it up for sale in the summer of 2013.

#5 Frank Lampard - $7 Million

Frank Lampard’s luxurious home has been occupied by him since 2004. He owns a surrounding three acres of land and has helped himself to a tennis court and putting green, too. He also recently forked out £800,000 into the creation of an underground swimming pool and gym.

#4 John Terry - $7.5million

After selling his old house John Terry built a new one in his own back garden. It has eight bathrooms, nine bedrooms, a swimming pool and a sauna. It also has a private cinema. His home was constructed by a private road and can only be seen properly from an above arial view.

#3 Didier Drogba - $14.5 million

Didier Drogba’s luxurious mansion was constructed soon after he moved to London, as he settled into his new life at Chelsea. It possesses 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Drogba also made a room specifically for all the honours he has achieved in his career, which will no doubt be full to bursting.

#2 Wayne Rooney - $17.83 million

Wayne Rooney took down a 1930’s house when he moved to Man United in 2004 and had his luxurious home made from scratch. It turned into a 6 bedroom mansion with a huge indoor pool and a cinema. He spent £50,000 on the garden turf alone and another £30,000 on a CCTV system.

#1 David Beckham -$20 Million

Beckham bought the 12 acre estate dubbed ‘Beckingham Palace’ just three months after he married Victoria. It has been put up for sale by the Beckham family as he and his wife have the sights set on a move to new a four-storey property in West London
