We’ve analysed the reported deal and how Ronaldo’s income stacks up against sport’s other high earners.
Based on an aggregation of 7️⃣ multiple sources, we have compiled a list of the world’s 10 highest-earning athletes – based on a typical year’s income 7️⃣ – and calculated how Ronaldo’s new deal compares.
Four of the top 10 are basketball players, led by LeBron James at 7️⃣ number three, who recently accumulatedR$1billion in career earnings. James’ off-field income dwarfs his salary, with a Nike deal worthR$90m and 7️⃣ a starring role in the latest Space Jam movie.
In football, all three of PSG’s strikeforce feature in the list, with 7️⃣ Kylian Mbappe’s new contract moving him into ninth, behind Neymar in fourth and Lionel Messi in second.
None, however, can match 7️⃣ Ronaldo. His salary eclipses what PSG are paying Messi and his numerous endorsements – on top of those that Saudi 7️⃣ Arabia can provide – take him further clear of his Argentine rival.
