Gary Lineker, the iconic football legend, not only earns a hefty £1.35 million from his BBC job but also runs a highly successful podcast business that could potentially surpass his television income. Known for hosting Match of the Day and leading Euro 2024 coverage, Lineker has also ventured into the world of podcasting with the hit show ‘The Rest Is Football,’ co-hosted by Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. But this podcast is just one part of his podcasting empire under Goalhanger, which boasts various franchises covering different topics ranging from history to politics, captivating millions of listeners every month. Founded by Lineker, along with partners Tony Pastor and Jack Davenport, Goalhanger has become the largest independent podcast group in the UK, proving to be a lucrative side hustle for the football star. Initially focused on sporting documentaries, the addition of the podcast division in 2022 has significantly contributed to the company’s success, making Lineker’s business endeavors equally as rewarding as his illustrious football career.
