Andrew ‘Freddie‘ Flintoff, the Top Gear presenter and former England cricket all-rounder, has had an impressive and diverse career that has made him worth millions.
The 46-year-old Englishman is best known for his cricketing prowess, having made his Test debut for England in 1998 and ending his international career in 2010 after winning numerous accolades.
His combined earnings from his International career and his club career for Lancashire County Cricket Club are estimated to be £12 million ($13.2 million).
Freddie returned to cricket as a coach after a successful career as an all-rounder on the field.
He coached in various capacities, from young cricketers in the “Andrew Flintoff Cricket Academy” to the official England white-ball team.
His coaching endeavors, however, were voluntary and unpaid.
Being a fluent and confident public speaker with a charming personality, Freddie has also worked extensively in media.
He has hosted radio shows, commentated on Cricket and Dart tournaments, produced documentaries, judged talent shows, entered reality TV shows, and hosted multiple TV segments, most notably “Top Gear,” where he had his near-fatal car crash.
Hosts of the British car show have been difficult to keep up with ever since the famous trio of Clarkson, May, and Hammond left in 2015, but it is estimated that they make around £1 million per year.
Freddie co-hosted “Top Gear” from 2019 to 2022 with Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris.
His estimated total earnings from the show alone are £3 million, not including another £9 million he received from the BBC as compensation for the accident.
Freddie is currently involved in the production of season 2 of his BBC One cricket documentary series, “Field of Dreams,” where he attempts to take his team of amateur teen cricketers to greater heights, one step at a time.
Not including earnings from his latest endeavor, which haven’t been disclosed, Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff’s total net worth is estimated at a comfortable £24 million ($26.43 million).
Despite recent hardships involving his long recovery from the high-speed crash and the preceding problems involving alcohol and depression battles, Freddie has made quite the mark on every field he has tried his hand at.
