Cristiano Ronaldo will earn $275 million in 2023, more than double Lionel Messi.
While playing in Europe, Ronaldo was always one of the highest paid athletes in the world. With his arrival at Al Nassr in early 2023, he will receive about 200 million USD per year, including salary, bonuses and promotional sponsorship, thereby surpassing the top of the athlete world in terms of income.
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles during the Riyadh Season Cup 2024 final match against Al Hilal at Kingdom Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 8, 2024.
According to Sportico, the Portuguese striker will pocket $275 million in 2023. In addition to his salary at Al Nassr, Ronaldo also earns $60 million from advertising contracts with brands such as Nike, Herbalife, Armani, Tag Heuer, DAZN and PokerStars. He is also successful with his personal brand CR7.
Messi is third with $130 million, including $65 million in salary from playing. The rest of the Argentine striker's income comes from advertising contracts.
Between Ronaldo and Messi is Spanish golfer Jon Rahm with $181 million. In late 2023, Rahm confirmed that he would compete in the LIV Golf League - a golf tournament system owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), despite being an A-list star on the PGA Tour. The Spaniard is said to have received an offer of between 300 million and 500 million euros (nearly $550 million) for a four-year contract.
In addition to Ronaldo and Messi, there are two soccer players in the top 10 highest-earning athletes in 2023. Kylian Mbappe is fifth with $125 million, while Neymar is sixth with $122 million. Just above the duo in fourth place is Los Angeles Lakers basketball star LeBron James with $126 million.
The remaining four positions in the top 10 belong to three basketball stars Stephen Curry ($99 million), Giannis Antetokounmpo ($88 million), Kevin Durant ($87 million) and football star Patrick Mahomes with $84 million.
The highest-earning F1 star in 2023 is Max Verstappen in 15th place with $75 million, while Lewis Hamilton pockets $62 million.
The highest paid boxer is Canelo Alvarez with $66 million, followed by British boxers Anthony Joshua ($55 million) and Tyson Fury ($40 million). The highest paid tennis player is Novak Djokovic in 46th place with $45 million.
