Manchester United forward, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now number two in United Kingdom richest sports men.
Ibrahimovic is a close second after he surprisingly entered the top 10 of the new Sunday Times Rich List.
Hamilton, who is in search of his fourth World Championship this year, has a £131m fortune and has seen his wealth increase by £25m in the past 12 months.
The Manchester United’s 35-year-old Swedish striker, ”overtook” teammate, Wayne Rooney to become the richest footballer on the list after he joined the English side in July last year.
The former PSG forward has a wealth of £110m after more than a decade playing for Europe’s elite clubs such as AC Milan, Barcelona, Juventus and Inter Milan and a lucrative long-term endorsement deal with Nike.
Also in the top 5 are Formula One’s Jenson Button and golfer Rory McIlroy with wealth of £86m and £82m respectively.
McIlroy’s fortune appreciated by £26m in the past 12 months, the biggest rise on the list, while Button’s personal fortune grew by £9m even though he handed over his McLaren seat at the end of last season.
Football is the best-represented sport in the top 10, with five of the wealthiest sports people either players or managers.
Rooney (£93m, up £11m) is third, while Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is in seventh place (£61m) and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola ninth (£50m).
Wales and Real Madrid striker, Gareth Bale has seen his wealth rise by £20m in the last year to a total of £54m, to place him eighth in the top 10.@uptimistpeters
