What is the net worth of Wes Brown ex-Manchester United footballer as he’s declared bankrupt
While playing at Old Trafford, Brown earned up to £50,000 weekly, according to sources.
The versatile defender spent 15 years at United after moving up through the organization’s development ranks. He played for Sunderland and Blackburn after retiring with Kerala Blasters.
Brown, 43, won 23 England caps between 1999 and 2010.
Who is Wes Brown’s wife?
Brown and his now ex wife Leanne, a Real Housewives of Cheshire celebrity, divorced last year.
The couple currently shares custody of their three children after 20 years of marriage.
Brown once placed a £4.5 million asking price on a house in Prestbury, Cheshire.
When Leanne discussed their financial condition a few years earlier, she said:
Yes we’ve got a lovely life and all this money and I’m not saying the money isn’t great but when you’re in it you’re living in this bubble. Although the fans can be amazing they can also be very cruel.”
Leanne further said that footballers must find it difficult to live with being admired one minute and despised the next for a poor kick or missed goal. They are the ones left to clean up the mess and take the brunt of whatever is left over after their careers are through.
Brown will play in a charity football game next month in support of the Manchester Arena bombing victims.
On a legends squad with former teammates Nicky Butt and Trevor Sinclair, Brown will fight against a celebrity team that includes individuals like comedian Jason Manford.
