Astronomical earned one billion dollars? No problem for Tiger Woods! Who is ranked the most earning sportsmen located behind the planet? Tiger Woods ranking number one in the world’s richest athletes, a big celebrity net worth.
It is not easy to determine athlete net worth. Most athletes publish their salaries without bonuses and other bonuses. Some disclose their salaries and even then only media speculation about the amount of their fees.
Have a look at world top 10 highest paid sportsmen:
1st Tiger Woods (32 years, U.S.) Golf 1.7 billion
2nd Roger Federer (29 years, Switzerland) Tennis 1.15 billion
3rd Phil Mickelson (40 years, U.S.) Golf 1.1 billion
4th Floyd Mayweather (33 years old, U.S.) Box 1.05 billion
5th LeBron James (25 years, U.S.) Basket 0.85 billion

Didn’t expect Ronaldo to be in the Top 10 !
Athletes are overpaid. They are not worth they money they are receiving.
@Wizard Brown, why not
@Larry Fish, well said
Because there are many footballers of the same standard who have been playing for much longer than Ronaldo. However, I guess he probably gets a lot of the larger advertising and marketing contracts as he is younger? Interesting
@Wizard Brown, may be you are right
Great list. Interesting to not see a footballer in the top 3.
@Emmie, Golf won the race
thanks for the interesting list. Wow, so rich, regret, should train as an athlete last time, lol.
Wow! These people are earning so much money that many people could not probably earn in their lifetime.
Great post, i like it
Before reading this article, I have no ideas on how much famous athletes can earn. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting, I’m not surprised there are some footballers in there – our Premier League footballers are all paid far too much.
nice share
great work well informed
I once trained for the Olympics marathon but failed to make the cut, perhaps I would be on this list at number ten.
