Rojo, why are you surprised? World class sporting heroes are few and far between in the UK. Farah's a national celebrity, not just a track star.
In reality it's the opposite.
We've got loads. That's why it's so hard to break through.
You can be a world class sportsperson and fly under the radar.
He is probably the one the highest paid athlete on the circuit, especially during Olympic years or whenever he medals/runs fast.
When Bolt was still running, he was obviously the highest paid, but I think Mo was prob number 2 or 3.
Maybe 3 million a year or so
Cheating does pay...thanks Alberto
Mo Farah is one of the most famous sports stars in the country. His double gold in the 2012 olympics gave him a level of exposure to the general public which not many receive.
Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Andy Murray, Wayne Rooney are the only bigger names out of active sportspeople. Football/soccer is the biggest sport but none of the top English players would be known much outside of people who don't follow it.

Hard to tell from the video, but I'm guessing it's maybe £4-£5million worth, given the huge garden. E.g.:

Mods - can you please step in and delete this?? This house is literally running distance from my house and the man has a family that deserves some privacy from a bunch of internet trolls. I get that anyone can google it if they are really motivated, but no need to have his exact location posted to the message boards.

The interior, no (that shower looks minging), but you're looking at a city with the 4th highest land values in the world, after Monaco, Hong Kong and New York.
There’s a very strong chance that this is a rental.
As an aside, (and without judgement in the least), I’ve always wondered if his son is a bit developmentally delayed or has some type of syndrome. Can anyone with some background comment on that?
... and this as well...

What are you on about? He has advertised his house for sale on that public website precisely to make people aware of it. I highly doubt some random Texan Letsrunner is going to start online stalking him or something.
That isnt Mo's house.
It is a house for sale in Waldegrave Park, Teddington - near St Mary's College.
Mo used to live in that street, but the other end in a student house.
Its about 8-10 miles from where Mo lives now.
You need to read what is written more carefully. Nobody said it was Mo's house.

No, exactly, I posted it on the first page of this thread as an example of a house similar in size to Mo's, in the same borough, also with a decent sized garden, to indicate what Mo's might be worth.

It’s most certainly not meant to be offensive. I was just curious.
