Coleen Rooney is reportedly making double what her husband Wayne’s soccer coaching salary is after her win in the Wagatha Christie trial.
The 37-year-old was awarded £3million in her defamation case against Rebekah Vardy and the money kept flowing after the win.
Coleen has signed on for a full-length Disney+ documentary, has written a forthcoming autobiography, and is believed to be in talks with a number of fashion brands.
According to The Mirror, the mother-of-four will earn £5million in 2023, which is double Wayne’s salary for his role at Washington’s DC United.
A source told the publication, “Coleen is pretty much the main breadwinner … she’s in hot demand, to say the least.”

Web has reached out to Coleen’s representatives for comment.
This comes after Rebekah Vardy’s social media rampage against Coleen gained further momentum on Friday after she reignited her WAG war following her bombastic Vogue interview.
The WAG referenced her 2019 interview in which she compared Coleen to a “pigeon that wouldn’t shit in your hair” by posting a childhood photo of herself with the bird on her head.
Rebekah spoke to the Chron’s Alison Boshoff just days after Coleen first accused her of leaking stories about her to The Sun, sparking a £3million defamation dispute.
She said at the time, ‘It would be like arguing with a pigeon.’ You can tell it you’re right and you can tell it’s wrong, but it’ll still get in your hair.’
The remark resurfaced during her most recent bitter High Court trial in 2022.
Rebekah then reignited her WAG war with Coleen in a furious tirade on social media as she slammed her rival for “not letting go” of her defamation case.
WAG claimed she wasn’t “jealous” of Coleen and said in her sizzling interview with British Vogue that her rival is “boring” and “public addicted”.

Rebekah took to Instagram on Thursday to share a stunning bikini snap, just hours after posting a pouting selfie while on her family vacation in Portugal.
She made a number of digs at Coleen in the comments section, including about Coleen’s husband Wayne cheating on her with hookers.
When a fan called Rebekah jealous, she hit back: “Jealous of what exactly!” Seriously spare me the pain… I wouldn’t take it if my husband ended up sleeping with hookers! no excuses’
In the interview, Coleen admitted that her 15-year marriage to husband Wayne has been “a struggle at times” given his numerous infidelities.
The couple’s marital troubles are well documented, including footballer Wayne’s infamous brothel visits and escort scandal.
Despite her hardships, Coleen managed to take Wayne’s betrayal with humor, joking that it had enabled her to deal with all of his other wrongdoings.

Furious: In a 2019 interview, Rebekah famously said, “It would be like arguing with a pigeon.” You can tell him you’re right and that he’s wrong, but it’ll still get in your hair.
Tirade: Rebekah made several digs at Coleen in the comments section of her Instagram post, including about Coleen’s husband Wayne cheating on her with hookers
She continued, “We’ve never shied away from it.” We own it. I remember having a conversation about this with someone and I said, ‘Do you know what your wife does day and night?’ At least I know what my husband does!’ It might not be good, but I know. “People lie to themselves.”
Coleen and Wayne, 37, who both grew up on Liverpool’s Croxteth estate, met when they were 12 and started dating when they were 16.
The couple wed aged 22 in a lavish ceremony in Italy and welcomed four sons, Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, 7, and Cass, 5.
Elsewhere in the bombshell interview, Coleen broke her silence on the £3million defamation case she won against Rebekah, branding her nemesis “weird”.
Becky slammed Coleen for “bringing it up again,” and replied to one of her Instagram followers, “Which I don’t see why you keep wanting to bring it up.” It’s boring now! The public doesn’t care and neither do I. She won, this is the end! Be happy, keep going… because I know I did it.
She added in another comment, “She just can’t let it go”

Jamie Vardy’s wife then continued to rage as she attacked Coleen, saying, “Don’t advertise me I’m private but please advertise me.”
Another fan slammed Rebekah when he said: “You dragged her through court to hang yourself so she honestly has the right to say her side. ‘You made the mistakes here, not her!’
Which prompted her to protest her innocence when she replied, “What a year later!” Give me a break! And yes, I did, because I’m not doing anything wrong! And I’ll take that to my grave! If I did, believe me, I would have waved my middle finger and said, “Yes and what!”
The Instagram user responded, “You were found guilty by the top suits though and can’t really preach innocence now can you?” I know you’d rather it be over, but she still has that Right to tell her side and her experience of this ordeal and people want to listen.’
But Rebekah continued, “I’ve preached innocence from day one and that’s not going to change!” And are you telling me that they’re not doing anything wrong… because I have a very long list that they screwed up! But it doesn’t fit the narrative! It’s okay, I think it’s cool to be the bad guy! Maybe I’ll just start living up to that now.”
She also hinted at the drama in her caption, writing, “Relax.” [peace out emoji].’
Angry: In her sizzling interview with British Vogue, Becky claimed she wasn’t “jealous” of Coleen and said her rival was “boring” and “public addicted”.

Rebekah lost her defamation case against Coleen in July 2022 and was ordered to pay up to £1.5million for Coleen’s legal fees after losing the case, but continues to insist she is not to blame.
After a graceful silence, Coleen branded Rebekah “weird” and said her “nasty” texts she read in court made her sick.
Rebekah had sued Coleen over allegations that she leaked details of Coleen’s personal life to the press after Coleen conducted an elaborate undercover operation to find out who was leaking stories about her to The Sun.
She told Vogue how she hatched a plan to thwart the person leaking stories by posting false stories on her personal account and only making them visible to Rebekah’s account but not telling anyone what she was up to, not even a lawyer.
Coleen said, “I feel like a lot of people still don’t understand what happened, from beginning to end.” But what I said in that post, I still stand by today.
WAG announced that their plan to publicly share the leaker on Instagram in October 2019 was entirely their own.
She said, ‘That night I started thinking about what I was going to do.’ I just wanted these stories to stop.’

The three-part documentary, directed by Coleen Rooney, will air exclusively on Disney+ later this year.
Wagatha Christie timeline: how the war between Coleen and Rebekah unfolded
September 2017 to October 2019 – The Sun runs a series of articles about Coleen, including how she traveled to Mexico to address the “sex selection” treatment of babies, her plan to revive her television career, and the flooding her basement.
October 9, 2019 – Coleen took to social media to accuse Rebekah of selling stories from her personal Instagram account to the tabloids.
Coleen says she spent five months trying to figure out who was sharing information about her and her family from the posts she made on her personal social media page.
After spreading a series of “fake” stories and using an elimination process, Coleen claims they were viewed by Rebekah’s Instagram account.
Rebekah, who was pregnant with her fifth child at the time, denies the allegations and says various people have had access to her Instagram over the years.
She claims to be “so upset” by Coleen’s accusation, later adding, “I thought she was my girlfriend but she absolutely blew me away.”
The public dispute made headlines around the world, and the hashtag #WagathaChristie is trending.
How it all began: On October 9, 2019, Coleen Rooney, now 36, accused Rebekah Vardy, 40, of leaking “false stories” about her to the press in an Instagram post (above).
February 13, 2020 – In a tearful appearance on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’, Rebekah says the stress of the argument caused her to have severe anxiety attacks and “ended up in hospital three times”. Coleen says in a statement that she does not want to “engage in any further public debate.”
Shortly after Coleen’s public accusation, Rebekah – who was pregnant at the time and vacationing in Dubai – denied any involvement (above)
June 23, 2020 – It turns out that Rebekah has filed a defamation case against Coleen.
Rebekah’s attorneys allege she “suffered extreme distress, hurt, fear and embarrassment as a result of the post’s publication and the events that followed.”
19-20 November 2020 – The defamation case takes place for the first time in London before the High Court. A judge concludes that in her October 2019 submission, Coleen “clearly identified” Rebekah as “guilty of a serious and persistent breach of trust.”
Judge Warby concluded that the “natural and ordinary” meaning of the posts was that Rebekah “had regularly and frequently abused her status as a trusted follower of Coleen’s personal Instagram account by secretly informing The Sun about Coleen’s private posts and.” stories informed”.
February 8-9, 2022 – A series of sensitive messages between Rebekah and her agent Caroline Watt – which Coleen’s attorneys claim relate to her – are revealed at a preliminary court hearing.
The court was told Rebekah was not referring to Coleen when she referred to someone as a “bad bitch” in a conversation with Ms Watt.
Coleen’s lawyers are seeking more information from the WhatsApp messages, but the court is told Ms Watt’s phone fell in the North Sea after a boat she was on struck a wave before more information could be extracted from it .
Feb. 14 – Coleen is denied permission to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court against Ms. Watt for misappropriation of private information, to be heard alongside the defamation suit. A Supreme Court Justice, Ms. Justice Steyn, says the bid was made too late and earlier avenues to pursue the lawsuit were missed.
April 13 – Ms Watt is unable to testify orally in the forthcoming defamation trial, the Supreme Court is told as the case is remanded for another hearing.
The agent revokes permission to use her testimony and withdraws her waiver, which would have allowed Sun journalists to say if she was a source of the allegedly leaked stories.
April 29 – Rebekah “appears to accept” her agent was the source of alleged leaked stories, Coleen’s attorney David Sherborne tells the Supreme Court. He argues that new testimony provided by Rebekah suggests Ms Watt was the source, but Rebekah claims she “neither authorized nor condoned it”.
Rebekah’s attorney Hugh Tomlinson says the statement does not contain any “changes to the case being brought” because her legal team did not communicate with Ms Watt.
From May 10th – The process takes seven days
