Adam Johnson Still Making Decent Money From His Prison Cell

Despite being behind bars, disgraced footballer Adam Johnson is still earning some decent money.

The 29-year-old is still raking the dough making a reported £5,000-a-week through his £5 million property empire and high-interest funds, according to The Sun.

Following his six-year sentence back in March for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old Sunderland fan, the Daily Star also claim Johnson will pick up £250,000 for every year he is locked up on child sex charges. Via a source;

"Adam earned big money for years and had a good team of financial advisers. He'll still be an extremely wealthy man when he is freed."

The revelation comes after the former England winger had his bid to appeal against his convictions rejected by the judges, as well as his jail time.

He's currently serving his sentence at category C Moorlands prison in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
