In the week his Manchester United team regained the Barclays Premier League crown, Ferguson has been named the richest boss in the country with a fortune of £34million.
The 71-year-old, who earns in the region of £7m a year at Old Trafford and owns a string of racehorses, is ahead of his former Old Trafford captain Keane and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
They are each worth £29m according to the fourth annual Sunday Times Sport Rich List, which accounts for sportsmen in Britain and Ireland.
As a player Keane, the former Sunderland and Ipswich manager, broke through the £100,000-a-week salary mark, while
Arsenal boss Wenger continues to be handsomely paid during his long reign at the Emirates.
England manager Roy Hodgson, on a £3m-a-year deal with the FA, squeaks into the top 10 on £12m but is behind predecessor Sven Goran Eriksson, who has accumulated £16m.
Manchester City chief Roberto Mancini and Ireland supremo Giovanni Trapattoni lie in joint-fourth on the list with fortunes of £21m.
Chelsea’s interim manager Rafa Benitez also makes the list, with £12m, despite not being on it last year.
