Megan Rapinoe’s net worth in 2024 is $5 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as Celebrity Net Worth.
Megan Rapinoe was born on July 5, 1985, in Redding, Calif. She attended Foothill High School. Although she never played for the school’s varsity team, Rapinoe opted to hone her skills with Elk Grove Pride football club. After showcasing her skills, Rapinoe earned NSCAA All-American twice and was part of the McDonald’s All-American Girls High School Soccer West Team.
After completing her high school education, Rapinoe originally committed to Santa Clara University. However, the Rapinoe sisters decided to attend the University of Portland. Here, she suited up for the Pilots football team.
In three years with the University of Portland, Rapinoe suffered several career-threatening injuries highlighted by a pair of ACL injuries.
Nevertheless, in three seasons, Rapinoe still accumulated 88 points that included 30 goals and 28 assists, which was enough to help her rank 10th in the university’s record books. In 2008, not only did Rapinoe wrap up her college soccer career, but she also graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
After forfeiting her remaining year of college eligibility, Rapinoe declared for the 2009 Women’s Professional Soccer Draft. She was selected in the first round with the second overall pick by the Chicago Red Stars.
While playing for the Red Stars, Rapinoe earned an All-Star Game appearance. But after just one season, Rapinoe left the Red Stars after it stopped operations, paving the way for her to sign with the Philadelphia Independence.
Rapinoe only saw four games of action for Philadelphia Independence. In those games, Rapinoe accumulated a single goal for the team before getting shipped to MagicJack. Before MagicJack’s franchise was terminated, Rapinoe registered two goals in eight games. Rapinoe enjoyed an annual salary of $25,000 while playing in the WPS.
After becoming a free agent, due to the termination of MagicJack’s franchise, Rapinoe inked a deal with Sydney FC of the Australian W-League. During her brief stint with Sydney FC, Rapinoe helped the team score a win against Melbourne Victory.
A year after her stint with Sydney FC, Rapinoe joined the Seattle Sounders alongside national team teammates Hope Solo, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, and Stephanie Cox. However, it was only a brief stint that saw Rapinoe only appear in two games and registered two assists.
In 2013, Rapinoe inked a six-month deal with French club Olympique Lyonnais. The Pilots standout’s deal paid her $14,000 in monthly salary.
Rapinoe played with Olympique Lyonnais for a pair of seasons before deciding to play for the Seattle Reign FC of the National Women’s Soccer League. In 28 total matches, Rapinoe registered eight goals for Olympique Lyonnais.
After a solid stint with Olympique Lyonnais, Rapinoe decided to take her talents to the National Women’s Soccer League by joining the Seattle Reign FC, now known as OL Reign.
With Rapinoe joining the NWSL, her pay skyrocketed to an annual salary of $65,000. But in 2019, Rapinoe scored a more lucrative deal by re-signing with the Reign on a deal that paid her $400,000 on an annual basis.
Fast-forward to 2023, Rapinoe signed another fresh deal with OL Reign. However, the football star also announced that she would be retiring after the 2023 season. Nevertheless, she registered 48 goals and 25 assists for Reign FC, which are club records.

If there’s one transfer Arsenal should pull out all the stops to prevent, it’s Bradley Barcola to Liverpool. Arsenal may have hinted they won’t stand in the way of their alleged dream signing, Alexander Isak, joining the Reds, but the same cannot apply to Barcola. Arsenal desperately need someone with Barcola’s capabilities. Arsenal’s Left-Wing Problem For the left wing, Arsenal need a maverick like the PSG star, someone who can go left, go right, kill you inside or out. He can hold the width on the touchline or combine centrally with teammates. Throughout pre-season, Arsenal’s struggles to impact play from the left have been glaringly obvious. Gabriel Martinelli has failed to show signs that the 2022-23 version of himself is still hanging in there. Martinelli suddenly can’t beat defenders, and Leandro Trossard, who has yet to sign a new contract offer, doesn’t have the pace to stretch them. The Brazilian’s dip in form, in particular, has raised concerns that even the impact of a potential Eberechi Eze signing could be blunted, especially if his left-wing partner can’t beat defenders one-on-one. Arsenal Must Act Fast Arsenal have been linked with Barcola, but it’s Liverpool who are now preparing to enter the fray. The mere hint that the Reds want him should spook Arsenal. If Barcola joins Liverpool, it could be game over. Gooners should be furious if Barcola is available and Arsenal don’t make a move. If I’m Andrea Berta, I’m dropping an £80 million bid at PSG’s door for Barcola. Under normal circumstances, PSG may not want to lose him. But with Liverpool circling Isak and a hefty bid incoming, PSG could pivot and go on the offensive for the Newcastle man if Liverpool continue to dilly-dally. Forget Isak, Barcola is a superstar. With 41 goal contributions in 64 games while playing as PSG’s fourth option, imagine what he could do as Arsenal’s first-choice left winger. It would be frightening, but fortunately not for us Gooners! What are your thoughts on Barcola? What are Arsenal doing about a left winger? __________________________________________________________________________________________
The Green Bay Packers are not done adding wide receivers. The team drafted Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, signed Will Sheppard, but also added another rookie—Isaiah Neyor, a big-bodied, undrafted receiver who had signed with the San Francisco 49ers right after the draft. Neyor spent three months in San Francisco and had a quiet training camp, which led to the team's decision to waive him, but it was enough time to catch the attention of star tight end George Kittle. Going back to June, in an interview with Bussin' with the Boys, Kittle talked about Neyor. "He's a good kid. I like him. He's a freak. He is really tall, and I watched him running a route, he got like nine and a half yards in two strides," Kittle mentioned. "It was insane. We watched it like ten times in the tight end room. We were like, how is he doing this? It's funny." The rookie has an insane athletic profile. He's 6-4, 218 pounds, and ran a 4.43 40-yard dash. With a 9.97 incomplete Relative Athletic Score, he had elite size, explosion, and speed grades—but no agility testing information. "If you're that tall, just make plays and do well on special teams. Right?," Kittle added. "At the bare minimum, you should make the practice squad." Positional battle With two weeks of training camp gone, Isaiah Neyor will have a hard time to make the 53-man roster. The Packers have Golden, Williams, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks as locks. Veterans Mecole Hardman and Malik Heath are also ahead of the rookies. Even players like Cornelius Johnson and Julian Hicks, who spent last season on the practice squad, have a natural advantage. Christian Watson is expected to start the season on PUP, so he won't count against the 53-man for at least four weeks. However, both undrafted rookies (Neyor and Sheppard) have a real shot at making at least the practice squad. In Neyor's case, the 49ers expected him to be around—so much that they guaranteed him $259,000 as an undrafted free agent signing. But with injuries all over the wide receiver room, the Niners needed spots for veteran guys—they have players like Robbie Chosen, Russell Gage, and former Packer Equanimeous St. Brown on the 90-man roster. As a consequence, they lacked space for developmental pieces. With two drafted rookies in Jordan Watkins and Junior Bergen, Neyor became an afterthought. On the Packers, though, the rookie will have another chance to prove that George Kittle was right.
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel likely won the respect of his team Wednesday. However, he may have needed a few stitches afterward. The Patriots hosted a joint practice with the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. New England rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson took a Commanders pass-rusher to the ground in pass protection, resulting in a scuffle. Vrabel then jumped in to help stop the fight. His face was bloodied after both teams calmed down. Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye loved that his coach was willing to step in. In a news conference after practice, the 22-year-old passer said that's the mentality the team needs. "That's what we're trying to build," he said. "The intensity, bringing it every day, taking no cr-p when we're out on the field. But also, it comes a time where, with our guys offensively, and getting over there and getting some tussles and kind of having some penalties, and extra after the whistle, can get us in trouble. But for mentality, I like it. I mean, I almost got in there, but I think maybe another day, maybe." His new coach doesn't want the QB to get in any brawls. The Patriots are banking on the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft being the franchise's future. Plus, he doesn't need to worry about the Patriots' intensity with Vrabel in the building. New England wide receiver DeMario Douglas noted the former linebacker didn't seem rattled after breaking up the scrap. "I said, 'Coach, what's wrong with you?' And he said, 'You should have seen the other guy,'" Douglas told the media while smiling. "I just saw the scar on his face but didn't know what was happening." Vrabel likely sent two messages at Wednesday's practice. He won't tolerate an undisciplined team but also has his players' backs. That could go a long way for a Patriots squad aiming to improve after a 4-13 season.
Kevin Love is eyeing a return to his roots. The five-time NBA All-Star big man Love has a preferred destination on the buyout market, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported on Tuesday. Love would like to end up in Los Angeles. Now 36 years old, Love spent the last two-and-a-half seasons with the Miami Heat. He averaged just 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds over 10.9 minutes per game in 2024-25 but still managed to shoot 35.8 percent from three on the year. Earlier this summer however, the Heat traded Love to the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team blockbuster deal. Now Love, a 17-year NBA veteran, is pursuing a contract buyout from the rebuilding Jazz. Though he is a native of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Love played his college ball in Los Angeles at UCLA. He also has ties to both L.A. teams — he won an NBA championship with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 and was also coached on that team by Tyronn Lue, who is now head coach of the L.A. Clippers. Both the Lakers and Clippers are currently sitting at 14 guaranteed contracts each. While they still have spots for two-way and Exhibit 10 players, that means the Lakers and Clippers are both down to their final open roster spot. The ex-rebounding leader Love still has some value, though probably more so as a jokester than as a contributing rotation piece. While Love clearly wants a homecoming to Los Angeles, he may have some convincing to do for either the Lakers or the Clippers to give him that final open roster spot.
