How much does Ronaldo earn? And who are his closest challengers? In the clip above we list the top five in Forbes compilation.
Each year, the magazine Forbes makes a list of athletes with the highest income between May 1, 2024 and May 1, 2025.
At the top – for the third year in a row – there is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese’s annual income, if you include both salary and business alongside the plan, is the third highest ever for an athlete – only exceeded by boxer Floyd Mayweather who in 2015 brought up just over SEK 2.9 billion and in 2018 just over SEK 2.75 billion.
Coco Gauff best paid woman – but outside the top 50
Among the ten best paid sports, there is a clear connection to Saudi Arabia, writes Forbes. Curry and baseball player Shohei Ohtani are the only ones on the top ten list who do not have a well-known business connection to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo plays everyday in the Saudi club Al Nassr.
According to Forbes Tennis star Coco Gauff, the best paid female athlete is just over SEK 332 million. But she does not get into the top 50.
