Who Are the Top 10 Richest Athletes? With Video

BY: GURU JAY

Who are the richest athletes? This blog post acknowledges the highest paid in sports. Don’t forget to check out the accompanying video.

At number 10, Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan represents the only professional football player on the list. Tennis phenomenon Rafael Nadal follows Ryan. Then, pro golfer Phil Mickelson comes in 8th.
I am shocked that no baseball players make the top 10 because Major League Baseball clubs notoriously sign lucrative long-term contracts. Then again, endorsements play a considerable role in total earnings. Number 6 Tiger Woods still endorses products but at a discount. Once Tiger starts winning Majors, his salary might triple with a premium.

Chronically injured and Basketball Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant grabs the fifth spot. Let’s hope the shooting guard recovers to full strength because when healthy Kobe is the most entertaining sportsman on Earth. Laker fans love snakes including the Black Mamba.
Great soccer forward Lionel Messi ranks 4th. Have you seen his fast and quick footwork? Who can stop the speedy Lionel from dribbling?

LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Floyd Mayweather take the top 3 spots. This is befitting because they are the best athletes in their sports.

LeBron is the greatest all around all-star since Magic Johnson. How about Ronaldo, who is the most famous soccer star playing today? Finally, undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather built a name and bank account that the sport of boxing will remember forever. On May 2 2015, the best defensive prizefighter matches against the most lethal offensive attack, the magnificent Manny Pacquiao. Bet Mayweather will be number 1 again next year.
Lucky number 7 Roger Federer has something in common with Mayweather besides money making. In 1998, the tennis prodigy turned professional while still a teenager. Furthermore, Federer continually competes at the highest level like Mayweather, defying the laws of physics relating to distance/ time.


Without further ado, your feature presentation…
