English footballer, Joe Cole has a net worth of $45 million. He currently plays for the Tampa Bay Rowdies as a midfielder. He started his career with West Ham United where he played more than 100 games in a span of five years, until he left for Chelsea in 2003. Cole won a number of trophies with Chelsea, including three Premier League titles and two FA Cups before leaving on a free transfer in July 2010 to join Liverpool.

Cole has spent the season on loan at Lille from Liverpool, where he failed to win a regular starting place under either Kenny Dalglish or Roy Hodgson. The Merseyside club has continued to meet half of his £90,000 a week (£4.7m a year) wages. Cole has an Adidas boot deal and his company, Joe Cole Promotions, saw assets rise from £181,000 to £591,000 in 2010-11. Cole wants to stay in France, where he is a first-team regular, but Liverpool may be keen to sell the player and cut their wage bill. He has a villa at the Royal Westmoreland resort on Barbados, along with many other sports stars, including Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Lee Westwood and Ian Woosnam.
