Cristiano Ronaldo topped the Forbes list for the third consecutive year and it is the fifth time in his career that he has done so, mainly thanks to his move to the Middle East with Al-Nassr, and according to the publication’s tally last year he generated earnings of around $275 million.
In addition, the Portuguese star increased his income by $15 million, thanks to his new sponsorships and his 939 million followers in total on social networks, until May

The highest-earning athletes in the world
Behind the Portuguese was the figure of NBA’s Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, who in March became the first player in the league to reach 4,000 three-pointers in his career, and accumulated $156 million.
Meanwhile, in third place is former heavyweight champion, Britain’s Tyson Fury, with $146 million. His earnings come from his partnerships promoting Maltese tourism and his Netflix reality show. However, he lost his heavyweight belts to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in December
The fourth on the list is Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, with estimated earnings of $137 million, the result of record signing bonuses and a lucrative contract extension, which keeps him as the highest-paid athlete in the NFL.
The Argentine star Lionel Messi is in fifth place with $135 million, the same figure as last year, even though he holds high-profile endorsements from Adidas and Apple.
Sixth place goes to the Los Angeles Lakers veteran LeBron James, who is nearing the end of his illustrious career, with $134 million.
While the Dominican baseball player, Juan Soto, entered the list in seventh place with income of $114 million, after signing his $765 million contract for 15 years, the largest in MLB history with the New York Mets
Eighth place went to French striker Karim Benzema, who plays for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, with earnings of $104 million.
Japan’s Shohei Ohtani is in ninth place with $102.5 million, as he decided to defer most of his earnings from his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB, boosted by his team’s World Series victory last year.
NBA star Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns rounds out the top 10 with $101.4 million.

Chicago Cubs set to add Kenta Maeda on a minor-league deal
CHICAGO — With their pitching reserves running low, the Chicago Cubs are in the process of adding veteran right-hander Kenta Maeda to their organization on a minor-league deal.Cubs manager Craig Counsell confirmed the agreement before Friday’s crosstown game against the Chicago White Sox at Wrigley Field. The Detroit Tigers designated Maeda for assignment on May 1, and then released the Japanese pitcher last week, leaving his baseball future uncertain at the age of 37.AdvertisementIn taking a flier on Maeda, the Cubs are reacting to the injuries that have sidelined starters Justin Steele, Shota Imanaga and Javier Assad, who were all once projected to be part of the season-opening rotation.At his best, Maeda was a 16-game winner for the Los Angeles Dodgers as a rookie in 2016. He also finished second in the 2020 American League Cy Young Award voting, off […]
NSWL: Angel City-Utah Royals should have stopped after Savy King collapse
Laken Litman College Football & Soccer Analyst <!--> The National Women’s Soccer League said last Friday's game in which Angel City FC defender Savy King collapsed on the field should have ended following the incident. King, 20, required on-field medical attention around the 74th minute of the game between Angel City and the Utah Royals when she collapsed on the field. The game was stopped for about 10 minutes and King was carted off the field and immediately transported to a local hospital in Los Angeles. The club provided updates, at first notifying everyone that she was in stable condition, and later that King underwent successful surgery for a heart abnormality. Angel City said in a statement earlier this week that King’s prognosis is "excellent," and her family said in its own statement that King is "recovering well."The incident sparked outrage […]
