The Richest Athletes in the World

This blog is about the richest players around the world in various sports.

1.Cristiano Ronaldo

Definitely the most celebrated footballer.He earns $58M through salary and $35M through endorsements.

2. Lebron James

This basketball player from U.S.A earns $31.2M through salary and $55M through endorsements.

3.Lionel Messi

This Argentine footballer is one of the greatest footballers of all times.He earns $53M through salary and $27M through endorsements.

4.Roger Federer

This Swiss player greatest tennis player of all times earns $6M through salary and $55M from endorsements.

5.Kevin Durant

This baskeball star from U.S.A earns $26.6M through salary and $34M through endorsements.

6.Andrew Luck

This American football quarterback earns $47M through salary and $3M from endorsements.

7.Rory McIlory

This Golf player from United Kingdom has been often compared to Tiger Woods.He earns $16M through salary and $34M through endorsements.

8.Stephen Curry

This basketball player from U.S.A earns $12.3M through salary and $35M from endorsements.

9.James Harden

This American basketball player earns $26.6M as salary and $20M through endorsements.

10.Lewis Hamilton

This F1 racer from United Kingdom earns $38M through salary and $8M through endorsements.

Finally I believe that it is quite unfair to compare athletes from different sports as every sport has different amount of money involved.For example there is no cricketer and badminton player in this top10 list.Though cricket is the 2nd most watched sport in the world.If I had to pick the richest in all respects then it would be Roger Federer as he is the one who has been in this list since years and is also the most marketable player in the world.
