Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker make for a great team in the broadcasting world, but the former is in a different league when it comes to wealth.

They rarely shared the pitch, but their chemistry is undeniable when they're in front of the camera or microphone. Lineker, 64, is usually the one posing questions to Shearer, 54, on the BBC sofa.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur forward will step down from Match of the Day's Premier League highlights at the end of the season. That said, Lineker will continue to present the FA Cup for the broadcaster next season, as well as the 2026 World Cup.

Despite Lineker being the one steering the conversation, it's Shearer who has the larger bank balance. As expected, a significant chunk of both players' wealth comes from their highly successful football careers.

Lineker's included memorable spells at Barcelona and Tottenham, while Shearer became a Newcastle United legend after winning the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. However, they've also managed to increase their wealth through business ventures. It's understood that Lineker has a net worth of £30million, a substantial portion of which comes from his BBC salary.
