Manchester United midfielder earns millions running side business

When the upper echelons of Manchester United sanctioned a blockbuster move for a proven Champions League winner in the summer of 2023, the move was hailed as a statement of intent.

The target was a player who had evolved from a six-year-old academy hopeful into a talismanic figure who famously assisted the winning goal in a European Cup final.

A two-time Player of the Year, he was the high-energy “engine room” that every elite manager craved.

However, a fractured relationship with new ownership and a standoff over contract longevity saw him sensationally swapped for the fabled Number 7 shirt at Old Trafford.

It was a transfer intended to define a new era of midfield dynamism, yet the reality has been a cruel sequence of physical setbacks and calf injuries that have left him watching from the sidelines as a high-priced spectator.

Mason Mount has seen his career at the “Theatre of Dreams” stalled by a relentless injury crisis that has kept him out of action for more than 50 matches.

But while his footballing journey has been stuck in neutral, his financial portfolio is witnessing a dramatic surge.

Despite being sidelined for a significant portion of his tenure, the 27-year-old midfielder has successfully built an off-field empire that continues to flourish regardless of his match fitness, according to The Sun.

New filings from Companies House reveal that Stone Elite, the commercial vehicle he operates alongside his father, Tony, has seen its asset value climb to £5.7 million as of June 2025—a notable jump from the £4.4 million reported the previous year.

This growth is driven by a diversified business model that includes both a property wing and a dedicated holding company.

His commercial appeal remains elite, bolstered by high-profile partnerships with global giants like Nike and Pepsi Max.

He has also recently shown his human side by reaching out to the family of Lewis Rimmer, a long-time United fan who was critically ill after being struck.

Observers have also noted the midfielder sporting both Adidas and Mizuno boots recently, sparking speculation that a bidding war for a lucrative new footwear contract is nearing a conclusion.

Persistent issues have limited him to just 66 appearances in two and a half years, including a 2024/25 campaign where he was restricted to only 27 games.

With a weekly salary of £150,000 and his business interests expected to expand further in the next accounting period, he has ensured that while his career has yet to truly take flight in Manchester, his financial future is already set in stone.
