Sir Alex Ferguson still netting eye-watering sum every week nine years after retiring as Manchester United manager
SIR Alex Ferguson is netting the equivalent of £235,000 a week — nine years after retiring as Manchester United boss.
Investments, book deals and public appearances, along with £2million for 20 days a year working as a club ambassador, mean the 80-year-old’s income is still on a Premier League level.
Sir Alex — known for United’s “Fergie Time” victories at the end of 90 minutes — has seen the value of his personal companies rise to £40million, as he raked in £12.2million last year alone.
Latest figures for ACF Sports Promotions, the company the Glasgow-born son of a shipbuilder uses for his commercial pay, show his assets rose from £17.5million to £26million in 2021.
In total, he has £39.2million assets in firms registered at Companies House, up from £27million the year before.
Assets in three other companies rose by £3.7million to £13.2million.
