Robbie Fowler Estimated Net Worth
31 Million pounds (May 2011)
“We all live in a Robbie Fowler house.” That’s the chant that rang regularly around Premier League grounds in the latter years of the ex-Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester City striker’s Premier League career.
Fans were referring to the 100-plus buy-to-let properties Fowler had amassed, having bought when prices were relatively low in the early 1990s, the height of his playing days.
With an estimated worth of £31 million, Fowler remains among the UK’s richest sports stars, despite having been away from the front line of British football for some years.
He now plays for Perth Glory in the Australian A-League, following recent spells at North Queensland Fury, Blackburn and Cardiff.Fowler, 36, wants one last season in Australia’s A-League. He joined Perth Glory a year ago and scored nine goals. Having diversified into property throughout a playing career that began in 1993 and took in Liverpool (twice), Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers, Fowler has a portfolio of more than 100 houses and flats. Only a fraction of his wealth is visible in Robbie Fowler Sports Promotions, which showed assets of £843,202 in 2009-10.

Fowler got in early, buying dozens of cheap terrace houses in the North West - including a whole street in Oldham - in the late Nineties, when they cost less than £20,000 each - today they are worth an average of £82,096. He then branched out into development, notably in the Scottish town of Airdrie where he converted a hotel into luxury flats.
Oldham is one of the few parts of the country to report rising property prices - up 3.2% on a year ago - in the latest Land Registry survey.
'The area is still attractive to investors because prices are far lower than in nearby Manchester,' says Andrew Chadwick of Cousins and Co, an Oldham estate agent.
Such is Fowler's prominence as a local landlord that fans used to sing: 'We all live in a Robbie Fowler house' to the tune of Yellow Submarine.
