Exactly 👍

🤙😂🤙

And Messi (Argentina) was the only Latin American ever to top the chart.

It doesn't make sense to me

Zidane was bought for 78 million dollars in 2001.he had advertisments. Even ronaldo R9 was making money. How can they be excluded.

so?

@@navneettyagi1159 just shows you how big football really is

it is not about big or small michael jordan is highest paid athlete despite it has 3billion fans today, baskteball was just 800 million when he was paid 33 million dollars in 1990's that accounts to 128 million dollars today inflation adjusted (for year) and at that time sports weren't paid this much. you know why? no because of sports being famous. i bet if you are from europe you only have heard of mj. no one else. basketball=mj not because of sports being famous but because of his brand ronaldo and messi are the goats of soccer any sports this famous will have the same basketball doesnot have goat currently playing so lebron is paid high always in top 5 but not that much the moment ronaldo messi retires, it will become like basketball@@enzymegamer7

Dale Earnhardt as well

yea . But it is not really worth it. he could earn like that when he is 50.

No actually he could earn 12.1 billion

It looks like they ‘vanish’ when they retire, because Jordan is a multi billionaire, way ahead of anyone else.

​@@stevegriffey8255 nope

@@unidentifiedx4319 Yup

@@stevegriffey8255 Ronaldo signed a billion contract with NIKE alone. MJ is only big in basketball countries. You go to any remote impoverished country and ask them about Ronaldo and MJ and it would be obvious which name you will hear more and it's not even close.

@@IAmThe_RA Jordan makes $250+m every year just from shoe sales. Everyone wears Jordan’s all over the world and they easily the biggest selling shoe of all time, and he’s the reason Nike are where they are. He transcended sport, culture and fashion… Nobody is wearing football boots in the street, so yes Jordan dwarfs Ronaldo in terms of global reach, overall popularity and business.

Lol yea, and how is A Rod not at the top considering he signed a $240m deal with the Rangers in the early 2000’s.

They’ve got Michael Schumacher making $13.4 million in Jan 1990, as well, that’s before he even had his first F1 race. Complete nonsense?

I was coming here to say this. As well as Federov in the early 90s.

That’s over 10 years.

Good money bro.

⁠​⁠In any era, the highest paid athlete has always been a boxer. The richest athlete of all time, because of endorsements, is Michael Jordan. In the 1921, Jack Dempsey made $300,000 for a fight while the highest paid baseball player Babe Ruth made $10,000 with a signing bonus of around $10,000. At the time, there was no NFL football and NBA basketball. In 1975, Ali and Foreman made $5 million each in their fight. I googled it and the highest paid NBA player in 1976 was Bill Bradley with $325,000, highest in MLB was Hank Aaron at $240,000 (but I read that Reggie Jackson signed a 5-year contract in 1976 valued at $3 Million which was probably end-loaded). The NFL was not the financial juggernaut that it is today, but the highest paid in 1976 might’ve been O.J. Simpson at $733,000. Jack Nicklaus was the highest earner in the PGA at $266,000. Muhummad Ali was huge around that time, so I’m guessing that he must’ve been the highest paid in 1976, as he made $11 Million combined for the Thrilla in Manila and the Rumble in the Jungle in the two previous years. In the 1980s, was a Jeopardy question: “which sport had the top 4 richest athletes?” One contestant answered “football”. Nope, another answered baseball. Nope, it wasn’t basketball either. It was boxing. The top 4 boxers were making tens of millions of dollars and athletes of other sports couldn’t compare. Just a few years ago Mayweather made $300 million and Pacquiao made $200 million for 1 night’s work, the money came from PPV buys which sold 4.6 million PPVs at $100 a pop and tv broadcast rights from around the world.

He sold his Whiskey company

Oh okay, but at that point it has nothing to do with sports anymore @@Sid_2007

His fight with mayweather

I mean a bunch of mid athletes can make a lot if a team or sponsors really believe in them like MJ wasn’t there for a while

He didn’t have a fight. I guess selling whiskey and advertising doesn’t make as much as the top athletes, it makes sense

Everybody look at Pacquiao in 2012 hahahaha

Yeah, and earning more as a rookie than multiple WC Ayrton Senna! What a load of bollocks!

Pacquiao and McGregor fights

And who is he

@@Honest_Penaldo_fan Yawn with your copy and paste comments. How many World Cup KO goals does Messi have in open play? I’ll give you a clue, it’s not much. Messi was world famous for choking international finals for his entire career. It’s only until Di Maria decided to turn up that he won anything at international level. Stop overrating the midget.

i guess in ufc its similar? considering mcgregors sudden rise near the end

Floyd cashed $300 mill against MC Gregor. Mc Gregor cashed $100 mill in that fight, that’s why the spike in value

Its annual income not total earnings so yea

Then, why is Buster Douglas earning between $24 million to $25 million from 1990 to 1998? After beating Tyson, Douglas was paid $25 million for fighting Holyfield. That’s it!! Douglas made real money for only one fight. Douglas was paid so much for Holyfield because it was a two fight deal. Supposedly, $25 million for Holyfield and $35 million rematch with Tyson, but he lost to Holyfield and a $35 million rematch with Tyson never happened.

Yeah, that’s right. McGregor made $100 million against Mayweather. Dana White can only dream of paying his fighters that much.

net worth and salary are two different things

@@riri3531 More like income instead of salary, but yeah income and net worth are two different things.

@@izilgur Yes sorry i got mixed up haha

​@@morniclegreen3534 sold his shares in some company.

Was that because of his fight with Mayweather which he made $100 million?

@@Honest_Penaldo_fan Honestly tho carrying a country like Portugal with no prior international trophy history to its first 2 international trophies is better than adding a wc to a country with already 2 wcs

Not even close bruh

The list is only active athletes…. That’s why he disappearedIf If it were all athletes including retired Jordan would be miles ahead of everyone.

It mentions when talking about Jordan that in 2016 he became the first athlete to pass the $1 billion mark. Conor McGregor's time at the top is a bit of a misconception. That year he sold his shares of Proper 12 Whiskey for $150 million. He didn't earn that much from fighting or sponsorships.

Thanks for the information, ☺️

Max Verstappen: 75 000.000 in 2023 (50 in the contract and 25 in bonuses)

Football is more stable while the US athletes are not so stable making money

or become Michael Schumacher

I was waiting for dhol mutthal and Doglin

@@Yeuiudjd321 dhol mutthal ipad tatta 🤢🤧

Yes, but he was no longer an athelete competing otherwise these numbers would be way different

So are Ronaldo and Messi

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is billionaire now to.

Mayweather may be close to being a billionaire by boxing. Jordan is a billionaire from Nike shoes.
