Sunday Times Rich List sees Rory McIlroy named wealthiest sports star aged under 30

Rory McIlroy is back at number one again - this time on the Sunday Times Rich List.

The Holywood golfer has been named as Britain's wealthiest sports star aged under 30.

It is the second consecutive year that McIlroy has topped the charts.

The four-time major winner's fortune has rocketed by £28m to £138m.

Real Madrid and Wales football star Gareth Wales is second with £94m, with Manchester City's Argentine striker Sergio Aguero third on £58m.

Anthony Joshua is fourth with £49m.

The world heavyweight champion and McIlroy are the only two non-footballers in the top 10.

The list includes both those from the UK and those based in the UK.
