Before Wealth & Fame

Steven Gerrard grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Liverpool, England. As a child, he was interested in multiple sports, including rugby, cricket, and soccer. Gerrard was a fan of Liverpool FC and often attended their matches, watching from the KOP Stand. 

Before joining the Liverpool youth academy, Gerrard also attained interest from rival club Everton. However, he stated that Liverpool was his one true love. Steven was only eight years old when he joined the club’s youth academy.

Liverpool FC

In 1998, Steven Gerrard made his professional debut with Liverpool, and it wasn’t long before he cemented himself as a key player in the starting lineup. During the early 2000s, Gerrard helped Liverpool win the Premier League, UEFA, and FA Cups. In 2001, he was named PFA Young Player of the Year and was promoted to club captain just two years later. He was 23 years old at the time.

Gerrard played with Liverpool for seventeen years, helping the club win eleven trophies, including three Premier League titles, two FA Cup titles, and one UEFA Champions League title. He solidified his reputation as one of, if not the greatest midfield player of his generation.

LA Galaxy & England National Team

Steven played in the MLS with the LA Galaxy for the last two years of his club career. He also played for the England national team for fourteen years, participating in three FIFA World Cups and two UEFA European Championships.

Salary & Contracts

Finding exact salary figures for Steven Gerrard’s early career at Liverpool was difficult. In 2009, Gerrard reportedly signed a four-year extension with the club, paying him approximately £140,000/week ($216,000/week), equating to £7.28 million/year ($11.23 million/year).

Gerrard continued earning this figure until the end of the 2012/13 season. According to reports, he then signed a two-year extension with Liverpool, earning him £6.24 million ($9.27 million) and £7.28 million ($11.23 million) for 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The final two years of Gerrard’s career saw him play with LA Galaxy and earn approximately £9.6 million ($12.46 million). These figures equate to Steven Gerrard earning at least £51.2 million ($70.3 million) in salary from 2009 until 2016.

Manager Salary

According to reports, Steven Gerrard earned approximately £2.5 million ($3.37 million) annually as manager of Scotland’s Rangers. He managed the team for three seasons, spanning from 2018 to 2021, equating to £7.5 million ($10.1 million). In addition, he managed Aston Villa for a single season, earning a reported £4 million ($5.4 million).

In 2023, Gerrard signed a two-year contract to manage the Saudi Pro League club, Al-Ettifaq. The agreement more than tripled his salary at Aston Villa, paying him £15.2 million ($19.27 million) annually, which is roughly £293,000/week ($371,000/week). Gerrard recently signed a two-year extension with the club, with his salary remaining the same. The contract will last him until 2027.

If the above figures are accurate, Steven Gerrard’s managerial earnings thus far would be roughly £41.9 million ($53.1 million).

Endorsements

Between 1998 and 2015, Gerrard appeared in Adidas ads, including a 2008 ad in which he knocked a clay pigeon out of the air with a football. He also teamed up with Xabi Alonso, Arjen Robben, and Michael Ballack for a series of short videos featuring the F50 and Predator football boots.

In 2014, Lucozade Sport appointed Gerrard as its product ambassador, using him to boost their brand in a £10 million ($12.4 million) ad campaign. The promotional initiative kicked off Lucazade’s advertising efforts ahead of the 2014 World Cup, using the Brazilian heat to highlight its product’s rehydrating qualities.

Gerrard is a popular sporting icon, and the public’s ongoing interest in his career makes him still one of the most marketable sports personalities.

Financial, Legal Issues & Lawsuits

In 2009, Gerrard got into a fight with Marcus McGee, leaving the DJ with some severe injuries. As a result, Gerard was charged with affray and assault but, following his acquittal, was compensated for his barrister’s fees from Legal Aid. The case cost the UK taxpayer £311,000 ($385,640), prompting the government to change the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act later that year.

Ahead of the 2014 World Cup, Gerrard faced legal action again following an altercation with renowned Merseyside gangster Paul Lloyd outside a pub in Liverpool, UK. Lloyd sought damages following the incident allegedly involving Gerrard’s wife and Steven’s close friend, Lee McPartland, but the case was dropped without any further action.

In 2016, Gerrard’s investment in “The Vincent Cafe and Cocktail Bar” in Liverpool caused him further legal trouble following a mouse infestation that went public. The company received a £20,000 ($24,800) fine and a court order of £2,488 ($3,085), with the judge adding a further £130 ($161) surcharge. Due to its poor financial position, the bar’s company accountant requested that the total debt be repaid at £1,000 ($1,240) per month, as that’s all the company could afford.

Tax Issues

Between 2000 and 2013, Gerrard and other football players, such as Wayne Rooney and David Beckham, participated in the Ingenious Media investment scheme. Gerrard’s advisors also suggested investing in the scheme because his 50% tax rate could raise his tax bills to as high as £713,000 ($884,120).

In September 2023, the media reported another potential tax issue for Gerard if he failed to secure a better league position for his new Saudi club, Al-Ettifaq. If the club sacked him as manager and he returned to the UK prematurely, HMRC has the power to tax his foreign earnings. However, as long as he spends less than 91 days each year in the United Kingdom and does not raise any other ties, he should not be required to pay tax in the UK on his income.

Business Ventures

In July 1999, Gerrard set up Steven Gerrard Promotions (GSP), a company designed to manage his many sponsorship and endorsement deals. His company reported reserves of almost £8.2 million ($10 million) in 2022, with profits exceeding £1 million ($1.24 million) and investments of £6.3 million ($7.81 million). GSP’s March 2023 Balance Sheet revealed reserves of more than £9 million ($11,16 million) and earnings for the year of over £855,000 ($1.06 million).

Following an invitation to become the brand ambassador for Angel Revive Ltd, an alkaline water brand, Gerrard became a 25% shareholder in the company in 2019. He invested more than £370,000 ($458,800) of his own money in the business to avoid having it struck off the company register. In early 2022, the business faced bankruptcy, but the action was halted in July of that year as extra shares were issued. The share allocation followed the business restructuring, giving Gerrard and his partners additional shares. From records lodged with the UK’s Company House, Gerrard still owns at least 25% of the company through SGP.

In 2009, Gerrard made another investment in Big Screen Productions 7, which invested in films like Avatar and Life of Pi. After many tax avoidance scheme crackdowns by HMRC, following allegations that the investment was an attempt to avoid paying taxes, a lawsuit followed. Nonetheless, after a lengthy legal process, the Court of Appeal upheld the contention that the company operated as a scheme to avoid tax, but the case is ongoing, and HMRC has yet to conclude its investigation.

In 2018, Gerrard got involved in a side project, launching his clothing brand, SSG Apparel. His fashion label debuted with a 24-piece collection of jumpers, polo shirts, and bomber jackets. 

Real Estate

In 2005, Gerrard purchased a seven-bedroom home in Freshfield, Merseyside, UK, one of the largest residential properties in the area. The indoor swimming pool, massive garage, and steam room complimented the mansion’s large manicured gardens, gym, and spa. Gerrard sold the mansion to Brendan Rodgers in 2015, who passed it on to Jurgen Klopp, who is now selling it for £3,42 million ($4.25 million).

In 2016, Gerrard took possession of another multi-million-pound mansion built on land he’d purchased for more than £3 million ($3,72 million). Strategically located just 30 minutes from Liverpool’s CBD, the home is set in a vast woodland, offering his family security and a peaceful retreat from his celebrity lifestyle. The two-story home includes a large garage, five bedrooms, and ample staff accommodation. With cutting-edge security systems included, Gerrard’s home reflects his commitment to protecting his family due to the risks of his high-profile status.

Philanthropy

In December 2010, Gerrard set up The Steven Gerrard Foundation, a limited company designed to provide charitable giving and support for worthy causes. Some notable donations include £5,000 ($6,200) sent to the LFC Emergency Foodbank Appeal, an organization that supports vulnerable people in need. Having grown up in Liverpool, UK, the area is close to his heart, and he continues to focus on initiatives that uplift underprivileged communities in the region.

Following the pandemic in 2020, Gerrard assisted Radio City’s Cash for Kids program with multiple donations of more than £10,000 ($12,400). With families suffering from reduced work hours and limited access to sick pay, Gerrard’s foundation stepped in to help those in need.

He also made grants available for children who required free school meals, allowing social workers, teachers, and health professionals to apply on behalf of struggling families. During 2020 and 2021, the charity helped the underprivileged with more than £200,000 ($248,000), reducing to £23,000 ($28,520) in 2022.
