Messi is only third! Sports annual revenue rankings, James is fourth, Mbappe does not enter the top five

Just just now, the British media Sun ranked last year's sports revenue rankings. Ranked first is Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, whose annual income is as high as £192.4 million. You can earn £6.1 per second on average, which is a very exaggerated number. Ronaldo has high commercial value, and his annual salary after joining the Saudi league is as high as US$200 million. For a long time in the future, I believe Ronaldo will rank in the top 2 in the rankings.

ranked second by golf superstar Joan Ram, who earns an annual income of £161.32 million and earns an average of £5.11 per second. Although golf is a niche sport, the income of star players in its field is very terrifying. A large number of game bonuses and commercial endorsements are the reasons why Joan Ram can squeeze into the top two of the rankings. In the third place is Argentine's football king Messi, who earns an annual income of £99.9 million and can earn an average of £3.17 per second. Although Messi rejected the sky-high contract for the Saudi League, he also received a considerable salary after joining the American League. And Messi's off-field business value has surpassed Ronaldo at this stage. With a large number of endorsement contracts, it is not surprising that Messi is in the top three. No. 4 is NBA superstar LeBron James, whose total revenue last year reached £94.87 million. In addition to having a high annual salary, James began to plan his own business empire very early. Off-market endorsements and investment income are very good. Some media even predicted that after James' future retirement, his total income will still ensure that he can enter the top ten of the rankings.

ranked fifth by Antetokounmpo, the Bucks star, who earns an annual income of £82.14 million, and can earn an average of £2.6 per second. Antetokounmpo's off-site endorsement is not very exaggerated at this stage. The reason why he is on the list is because the Bucks have just updated the contract with him. After receiving the maximum salary, Antetokounmpo's income has increased dramatically, which has allowed him to successfully enter the top 5 sports rankings.

ranked 6th by Real Madrid star Mbappe, who earns an annual income of £81.4 million and earns an average of £2.58 per second. Needless to say, Mbappe received a good annual salary after joining Real Madrid. Moreover, the players' commercial value is also very high and their off-court revenue is considerable. Of course, part of the reason is that Mbappe also played for Paris Saint-Germain in the first half of last year. His annual salary was quite exaggerated at that time. When the next annual income list is updated, I believe Mbappe's income will not be so high. Neymar ranked 7th, although he basically didn't play the game due to injury. But the annual income of Brazilian genius still reaches £79.92 million, and the average profit can be £2.53 per second. Neymar mainly played for a while in Riyadh Crescent last year, so his annual income is still very high. His ranking will drop significantly when the new list is updated. In the eighth place is Benzema, who earns an annual income of £78.44 million and earns an average of £2.49 per second. Benzema has caught up with the dividends of the Saudi League's superstar program. He joined the title of Mr. Golden Ball and received a very high annual salary, which made Benzema's income jump to the top 10 in the sports world. 9th place is Curry, who earns £75.48 million annually and earns an average of £2.39 per second. Curry and the Golden State Warriors also ushered in a contract update, and his off-field business value is very high, and it is expected to enter the list. Finally, at No. 10 is rugby superstar Lamar Jackson, who earns £74.37 million a year and earns an average of £2.36 per second. What do you think about this sports revenue ranking last year?
