Given all of that, it is natural for one to expect that her career has been financially rewarding as well. Has it?

Earnings from Soccer Team Contracts and International Career

Morgan started playing professional football for Western New York Flash and soon went on to big ranks winning the league championship. Her role during the league winning season is what got her into the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time.

She Makes Over $4 Million from Endorsement Deals

Others are Shaken Up, Win or Lose, Settle the Score, and Hat Trick. All the books came as a part of The Kicks series which she signed to pen for Simon & Schuster. She has also written an inspirational book, Breakaway: Beyond the Goal. Hence, apart from football and her many endorsement deals, the woman is also making money through her writing.

Her Earnings Compared to Other Top-Earners In the Sport

Alex Morgan has been married to Servando Carrasco since 2014. He’s also a professional footballer who plays in USL League One for Fort Lauderdale CF as a midfielder as of 2021. For anyone who cares to know, it is obvious that Alex has accomplished more in the sport, more than Servando would ever get to attain.

Servando’s salary also pales when compared to his wife’s. While Alex commands $450,000 a year, her husband gets only $70,250. This makes sense as Alex plays in the top tier of the game. But then, what she earns is quite disappointing when compared to her male counterparts in the sport.

It’s no secret there is a big difference in earnings between football stars at the top of the men’s and women’s games. Nonetheless, comparing Alex’s salary to those of the top earners in male football shows that the gap is super enormous.

Controversies

Even though she hasn’t been known for many controversies, she got into some issues at Disney World where she and some of her friends were booted out of the camp for being “impaired and verbally aggressive”. After the event, she had a conversation with the police from which a video was later released which added more fire to the controversy.

“You guys are lying right now,” Morgan said in the video. “I can’t imagine what black people go through. This is insane,” she added.

Nevertheless, the soccer star later came out to apologize to her followers on Twitter. “I want to apologize for my actions that occurred over the weekend. I will learn from this to make sure it does not happen again. #liveandlearn” she tweeted.
