He might be one of the best football players in the history of the game, winning Liverpool a cup treble and scoring over 150 goals in the Premier League, but since retiring from the game, he and his family have been leaving fans with raised eyebrows.
After lots of speculation, we finally discovered that it was Michael Owen rapping in a doughnut costume on The Masked Singer.
And now his daughter, Gemma, has been strutting her stuff on the eight series of Love Island. She’s just 19 years old and says she’s determined to become a billionaire. There to help with those plans is her dad…
What is Michael Owen’s net worth?
As of 2022, Michael Owen has an estimated net worth of $68 million (£54.4 million), according to Idol Net Worth.
Owen’s home is a massive £4 million Welsh mansion, where he has his 2001 Ballon d’Or on proud display.

He bought the manor house with his now-wife Louise Bonsall just in time for the arrival of their daughter Gemma.
A couple decades later and Owen has given Gemma his blessing to take part in the bikini-covered addictive reality TV show Love Island.
Before appearing on the show, Gemma was already in the spotlight: with a successful modelling career, and her own beachwear range called OG Beachwear, she went public to call out fake rumours that she had joined OnlyFans.
She’s even kept some of her dad’s sporting blood and is a successful professional horseriding dressage champion for Team GB - and has called out “nasty” trolls who accuse her of “living off daddy’s money”.
42-year-old Michael Owen has had his daughter’s back throughout, saying he was “proud” she launched her own brand, and reportedly supporting her decision to join Love Island.
But she’s already caused a bit of a stir on the show, with fans saying they’ll complain to the broadcasting regulator after Gemma was shown picking the 27-year-old Davide to kiss on the very first episode.
