Johnny Sexton retired from rugby three years ago. But the former Ireland captain is still enjoying financial success.
The legendary fly-half was one of rugby's highest-paid stars during his career.
Now, new company accounts have revealed just how successful he has been away from the pitch.
The former Ireland captain has moved into coaching and built a successful business career.
And the latest figures make for impressive reading.

What is Johnny Sexton's net worth?

Sexton's exact net worth has never been confirmed.
Some estimates put his fortune between €5million and €8million. However, those figures have not been verified.
His company accounts give us a clearer picture.
According to RTÉ, his business has built up profits of €3.058million.
The company, JAS Management & Promotions Ltd, made €382,668 after tax in the year to September 2025.
It also held:
  • €468,757 in cash.
  • €2.497million in financial assets.
These figures belong to his company. They do not represent his exact personal net worth.

Johnny Sexton's rugby salary revealed

Sexton was one of the best-paid players in Irish rugby.
The Irish Independent reported that he earned around €700,000 a year in 2019.
That was worth roughly £600,000 at the time.
And that figure did not include his sponsorship deals.
Sexton worked with major brands such as Lexus, Aer Lingus, Mace and Laya Healthcare.
He also spent two seasons playing in France for Racing Métro.
During his career, he won five Six Nations titles and four European Cups.

How Sexton makes money after retirement

Sexton has kept busy since his final Ireland appearance in 2023.
He took a job with packaging company Ardagh before returning to rugby as a coach.
In 2025, he joined the IRFU in a full-time coaching role.
His autobiography, Obsessed, was also Ireland's bestselling non-fiction book of 2024.
And his company has been putting money aside for the future.
Previous accounts showed more than €550,000 paid into directors' pensions in one year.
Sexton may have stopped playing rugby, but he has clearly planned well for life after the game.
