English rugby union player, Jonny Wilkinson has a net worth of £14 million as of May 2012, according to the Sunday Times UK Rich List. He is former member of the England national team. Jonny Wilkinson was a points-scoring machine right from his earliest days in professional rugby union. He was also utterly dedicated to his sport and, away from the pitch and remains a clean-living individual who has never attracted bad press. He has been the model professional and perfect teammate for Newcastle Falcons, Toulon and England. He would have achieved even greater things had it not been for an unfortunate series of injuries, and it came as no surprise when he announced his retirement from international rugby in December 2011. He played 91 times for England, holds the Rugby World Cup points record with 277 and is the only man to score points in two World Cup finals. In total, he scored 1,179 points for England. After 12 years (and 1,938 points) with Newcastle, Wilkinson signed a two-year deal with the leading French club Toulon in 2009 on a salary of £710,000 a season. The contract has been extended to 2013. Lucrative endorsement deals with Adidas, Gillette and SFR, the French mobile network, take his annual earnings to £2.5m. His company, Jonny W Ltd, showed net assets of nearly £5m in 2010.
