Rich list: Lewis Hamilton re-mains the richest sportsman in Britain with a fortune of £88 million but Wayne Rooney has overtaken Jenson Button to be in second place in the 2015 Sunday Times Sport Rich List.

Rooney’s overall wealth is up £12 million to £72 million. The Manchester United and England skipper remains on course to join David Beckham as the only British footballer to amass a fortune of more than £100 million.
