Rio Gavin Ferdinand is a former professional soccer player (footballer) born on 7th November 1978 in Denmark Hill, London, UK. He played 81 matches for the England national football team, and was a member of three FIFA World Cup teams. Many consider him to be one of England’s greatest players ever, and he is one of the most decorated English footballers of all time. He currently works for BT Sport as a television pundit.

Have you ever wondered how rich Rio Ferdinand is? According to sources it has been estimated that Rio Ferdinand’s overall net worth is $75 million, as of July 2017. Ferdinand accumulated his impressive wealth through an extremely successful football career, which he started in the early ‘90s. Becoming one of the most popular footballers and receiving a remarkable number of acknowledgements, he has significantly increased his net worth.

Although born in Camberwell, Rio grew up in Peckham in a large family. From his mother’s side he is of Irish decent and Saint Lucian from his father’s side. When he was 14 his parents separated, but his father remained close, taking the children to football training. Ferdinand went to Camelot Primary School where his favorite subjects were maths and drama. In fact, he was so good at it, that he represented the school in gymnastics at the London Youth Games and was invited to train at the Queens Park Rangers academy by the time he was 10. However, when he was eleven years old, Rio won a scholarship to attend the Central School of Ballet and continued going to ballet classes four days a week for four years. However, he preferred to enroll at Blackheath Bluecoat School, where he enjoyed taking part in not just football but also gymnastics classes, ballet, drama and theatre. When it comes to his talent in football, Rio always showed superior abilities, and regularly played in youth teams including for Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Chelsea. In January 1994, Ferdinand signed his first Youth Training Scheme and at 16 he joined the England youth team squad for the UEFA European Football Championship.

Rio signed professionally for West Ham United, and won the Hammer of the Year award in the 1997/98 season. Two years later, he joined the Premier League club Leeds United, and led them to the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League. After two years with Leeds United, Rio transferred to Manchester United for an astonishingly expensive contract of around 30 million Pounds which, at the time, made him the most expensive British football player in history. With this team he won a medal in the 2006 League Cup and runners-up medals in the 2005 FA Cup and 2003 League Cup. He subsequently won six Premer League titles with United, three Football League Cups, the UEFA Club Championship in 2008 and the FIFA World Club Cup the same year. Thanks to his impressive performances in the league, he was six times named in the PFA Premiership Team of the Season.

It was in July 2014 that Ferdinand decided to sign for new Premier League club Queens Park Rangers, however, he made only 12 appearances for this team before announcing his retirement from professional football in May 2015.

During his career, Rio was capped 81 times for England – Ashley Cole is the only coloured player with more ‘caps’ – including playing ten World Cup finals games, and has been considered an a-typical defensive product of its football. He is still regarded as one of the best defenders in his generation, and one of best ever centre-backs.

Privately, Rio married Rebecca Ellison in 2009, who died of breast cancer in May 2015. From this marriage he has three children. He has published two autobiographies – “Rio:My Story” and “#2Sides”, in which he detailed his upbringing and life. Ferdinand founded the Rio Ferdinand Live the Dream Foundation in December 2009, a charity organization which helps young people from impoverished communities.

Mario Ferdinando Gianani Quotes

• I’ve heard it said I must be gutted to have been brought up in a place like Peckham. Rubbish.
• I never once didn’t accept responsibility for that drug test. I’ve always accepted full responsibility – I should have gone to the test, but I genuinely forgot. My excuse was a simple excuse, and people are still picking on it and saying, ‘That’s bollocks’, but I’m sorry, that’s the truth, that’s what happened. I forgot.
• When I’d go out on a date with a girl, I used to know within the first hour whether she was good for me. [The interviewer asks how he knew.] Well, you might ask, ‘What do you want to do?’ And if she sat there looking pretty and said, ‘Ah, I don’t know’, it was not a good start. I liked it if they were driven or wanted to do something on their own.
• I used to read every, well, most nights. I think reading helps me in terms of relaxing. It helps me to get my mind off the game a little bit more and it helps me to be a little bit more focused.
• [on his late wife] When we started going out, I said, ‘If we moved in together, would you stop working?’ And she said, ‘Are you crazy? I’d be bored’. I admire stuff like that. I wouldn’t have any respect for someone who was going with somebody because he was successful.
• He [Joe Cole] has always been a slippery little git!
• [Describing a night out he was invited to by Jamie Redknapp at the age of 17] People were buying the players drink after drink and there were birds crawling all over them. Jamie’s a good-looking lad, of course, but I soon learned that if you’re a footballer it doesn’t matter how pig-ugly you are, you will always get attention from the fittest birds. Crazy, innit? The world we live in is mad because . . . I’ll be honest with you, if I saw an ugly bird and she was a celebrity with loads of money, she wouldn’t attract me at all. It’s true, but some people are different, some people say, ‘Yeah, I don’t fancy him, but I’ll sacrifice his looks if he is bringing all of the other stuff’. I don’t understand that mentality. I think you’ve got issues if you’re doing that kind of thing, but a lot of people are.
• I’ve heard people say it looks as if I don’t care and I’ve certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don’t think I can change it. I know I’m working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn’t always look that way.
• It doesn’t matter whether you’re a senior or not, if something needs saying to a colleague it will be said.
• Our lives are quite boring. I spend a lot of time watching Coronation Street and Eastenders.
• Footballers are creatures of habit and for as long as I can remember at United, it was a ritual that we had low-fat chips the night before a game. We loved our chips, but [manager David] Moyes comes in and, after his first week, he says we can’t have chips anymore.
• People have an opinion of me from what they read in the papers and the image painted by the media, and I probably haven’t helped myself. But my mates and the people close to me know what I’m really like. I’m not trying to paint this picture of a do-goody who never does anything wrong; I’ve made mistakes and have done things I would change . . . The stuff in Ayia Napa, the drug test – I would like to change that, but these things happen for a reason to help you learn and appreciate where you are in life. One of the hardest things for me about becoming a footballer was accepting that I had to be responsible for my actions, that I have a responsibility to people and to young kids. That’s hard to grasp when you’re just a kid yourself. For Michael Owen it was easy, his life was . . . I wouldn’t say simple, but he was quite a mature 18-year-old and he dealt with the bright lights admirably. I was an outgoing kind of child, willing to see things for myself and to get burnt. And I have been burnt, but there’s a lot that I wouldn’t change as well because, like I’ve said, I have seen a lot with my own eyes and learned.
