SAINTS have smashed records on-field this season in the Premier League - and now they’ve smashed through an eye-watering cash milestone off it.

It can be revealed that Saints have amassed, through Premier League prize money alone, a mind-boggling £413,090,876 during their 17 seasons among the elite.

After raking in £84.7m for their record-breaking sixth place finish last season, Saints have shattered the £400m mark.

With the new £5.136bn television deal kicking in next season, it won’t take much for Saints to get halfway to £1bn.

So far, they have banked nearly £24.3m per campaign. That is more than £620,000 per game. That is almost £7,000 per minute of football. That is over £1.25 per second of football.

In all Premier League clubs past and present have raked in a casual £14,764,529,714. That’s fourteen billion, seven hundred and sixty four million, five hundred and twenty nine thousand, seven hundred and fourteen smackers.

In other words: a gargantuan mountain of cash.

Unsurprisingly, Saints are nowhere near the top earners – sitting 14th on the 49-club list – having spent seven season dwelling in the far less lucrative Football League from 2004/05 to 2012/13.

But since breaking back into the Premier League their prize money tally continues to increase at a phenomenal rate - especially with their continuing success.

Manchester United, again unsurprisingly, lead the way and are on the brink of becoming the first club to break through the £1bn barrier next season.

The 13-time Premier League champions have totalled more than double of what Saints have, with their current total standing at £870,270,178 following their fifth-place finish.

Arsenal romp home in second place £30m behind United, while Liverpool and Chelsea are third and fourth on £815m.

Despite winning the title this season, Premier League champions Leicester are 25th on the list, having earned £247.7m in prize payments, £93.2m received in this season alone.

Bizarrely, two of the clubs of the prize money list, Notts County and Luton, have never played in the Premier League.

The now League Two outfits benefited from parachute payments when they were relegated from the old Division One’s final season.

The new three-year TV deals that will come into play this summer will be worth around £2.8bn a year, almost 60 times as much as the first season.

This incredible growth is effectively demonstrated by the fact that Aston Villa, the lowest earning club this season, have received £66.6m for 2015-16, approaching double the entire prize for all 22 clubs 1992-93 (£37.5m).

Next season’s growth will mean the bottom club - whoever they are - are likely to earn close to what this season’s highest earning club, Arsenal, have won this season.
