- Rory McIlroy ranked as Northern Ireland’s richest young person for 2024
- The world number two golfer has an estimated net worth of £225million on the youngsters list
- The ranking comes days after McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica Stoll
Rory McIlroy has been ranked as the richest young person in Northern Ireland on the Sunday Times Rich List for 2024, just days after filing for divorce.
The golfer’s net worth has risen to £225 million after rising by £25 million in the past year, making him the country’s richest person under the age of 40.
Former billionaire Lady Ballyedmond tops the list, with a fortune of £914 million, in the final list of the 350 richest names. With McIlroy the 13th richest young person in all of Great Britain.
However, the 35-year-old’s worth could be taken away after the end of his seven-year marriage to Erica Stoll was confirmed this week.
Details of his divorce from Stoll after they were revealed in court documents filed in Florida, which outlined shared custody and a parenting plan for their daughter, Poppy, and indicated the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement.

Over the course of his illustrious career, McIlroy has amassed £65 million on the green, the majority of which has come from endorsements and commercial deals.
The world number two added to that total this week as he earned a further £2.8million for winning the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. However, the five-shot victory came too late to be included in this year’s rich list.
He was still seen wearing his wedding ring at Quail Hollow last weekend, but did not wear it on his finger during practice for the PGA Championship earlier this week.
The couple share a stunning $22 million mansion that sits on 2.4 hectares of highly sought-after land and is believed to have 10 bathrooms in addition to the nine bedrooms.
It also features a luxurious infinity pool, as well as a games room, tennis court, home theater, recording studio and state-of-the-art gym – as well as space for six cars in the garage.
McIlroy bought the Jupiter, Florida home in the gated golf community of Bear’s Club from golf legend Ernie Els in 2011 and is now worth double the amount he paid for the property.

The Northern Irishman thought he owned lavish homes in La Quinta, California, New York and Dubai. As well as a 19th century mansion in Britain, near Co. Down, where he grew up.
Stoll and McIlroy married in 2017 after meeting at the 2012 Ryder Cup, while Stoll was working for the PGA and McIlroy was still dating tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
Together they have one daughter, Poppy, who was born in 2020 and remains at his home in Florida while McIlroy is in Louisville, Kentucky, where he is competing in the PGA Championship.
A four-time major winner, McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice: in 2012 and 2014.
