Frank Lampard, an English football manager and former footballer, boasts an estimated net worth of $60 million. As one of the most skilled midfielders in history, Lampard's most successful periods were with West Ham United and Chelsea, where he holds the record for the most Premier League goals scored by a midfielder, with an impressive 177 goals. Additionally, he represented the England national team, participating in three FIFA World Cups and one UEFA Euro. His financial trajectory is a testament to his status as a premier global athlete and high-profile manager, with career earnings and assets estimated to be between £75 million ($100 million) and £80 million ($107 million). Lampard's transition to management has maintained his high earning power across multiple clubs. Born on June 20, 1978, in London, England, to Pat, a librarian, and Frank Sr., a professional footballer who played for West Ham United, Lampard has two sisters named Natalie and Claire. In 1994, he joined the youth team of West Ham United, where his father was the assistant coach and a former player. The following year, Lampard signed a professional contract with the club. After a loan period with Swansea City in late 1995, he made his senior debut for West Ham in early 1996. Lampard had his first full season with the club in 1997-98, making 42 appearances across all competitions and scoring ten goals, including his first hat trick. He had another strong season in 1998-99, with 41 appearances across all competitions and six goals. Moreover, Lampard helped West Ham finish fifth in the Premier League that season, the club's highest-ever finish. In the summer of 1999, he helped West Ham win the UEFA Intertoto Cup finals, leading to a berth in the UEFA Cup. The club was eliminated in the second round of that tournament. Lampard had an impressive 1999-2000 season, finishing with 49 total appearances and 14 goals. The following season, his last with West Ham, was less successful, as the club languished at the bottom of the Premier League table and finished in 15th place. Following the departures of both his father and uncle from West Ham, Lampard signed with Chelsea in mid-2001. In his first season with the club, he scored seven goals in 53 appearances across all competitions. The next season, Lampard had eight goals in 48 total appearances. He went on to have his breakout season in 2003-04, when he earned Premier League Player of the Month honors for September and helped Chelsea finish second in the league. That season, Lampard scored 15 goals in 58 total appearances. His 2004-05 season was even better, with 19 goals in 58 appearances, including both goals in the 2-0 win that secured Chelsea its first-ever Premier League title. Moreover, Chelsea won the title with a record 95 points. On top of that, Lampard helped Chelsea win the 2004-05 Football League Cup and the 2005 FA Community Shield. He earned many individual honors for his season, including FWA Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season. Lampard kept his success going in the 2005-06 season, scoring 20 times in 50 total appearances and leading Chelsea to a second consecutive Premier League title. In the 2006-07 season, Lampard scored 21 goals in 62 total appearances. Chelsea won the FA Cup and the Football League Cup and came in second in the Premier League. The following season, Lampard was beset by injuries and only made 40 appearances, with just 24 in the Premier League. However, he still finished as the top goalscorer in the league, with 10, and across all competitions, with 20. In the 2008-09 season, Lampard made 57 total appearances and again scored 20 goals across all competitions as Chelsea won the FA Cup. He went on to have his peak season in 2009-10, with a career-high 27 goals across all competitions, including a career-high 22 in the Premier League. Chelsea won its third Premier League title, and also won the FA Cup and the FA Community Shield that season. Lampard was unable to recreate that success in the 2010-11 season, as various injuries limited him to just 32 total appearances. He was more productive in 2011-12, making 49 total appearances with 16 goals as Chelsea won the FA Cup and its first-ever UEFA Champions League title. The next season, Lampard helped Chelsea win its first-ever UEFA Europa League title. He spent his final season with the club in 2013-14, finishing his tenure as the club's all-time leading goalscorer, with 211 total goals. Lampard first played for England at the youth level, with the national under-21 team. He played with that team from 1997 to 2000, making 19 appearances and scoring nine times. Lampard made his debut with the England senior squad in 1999, although he didn't play in his first international competition until Euro 2004, where England reached the quarterfinals.

After the latter, he announced his retirement from international football, having earned 106 caps and scored 29 goals. Following a kerfuffle in which it wasn't clear if Lampard had signed with MLS's New York City FC or its parent club, Manchester City, Lampard made his debut for the latter in September of 2014. The next year, he made his 600th Premier League appearance and scored his 177th and final Premier League goal, a record for a midfielder. Lampard ended his playing career with New York City FC, and in the summer of 2016 became the first NYCFC player ever to score a hat trick. Moreover, he helped the team reach the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time ever. Lampard announced his retirement from playing in February of 2017.

That October, he was named Premier League Manager of the Month for guiding Chelsea to a perfect record in the league that month. Lampard remained with Chelsea until early 2021, when he was let go amid Chelsea's declining performance in the league. After a year out of work, he became manager of Everton in early 2022. Lampard was dismissed from the club a year later, again due to poor club performance. He subsequently became caretaker manager for the end of Chelsea's 2022-23 season.
