Lionel Messi Tops Forbes' Highest-paid Athletes For 2022 by teegrams(m): 5:55pm On May 16, 2022 |
Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi topped the list for pre-tax income in Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s highest-paid athletes after earning $133 million over the past 12 months. The 34-year-old soccer icon lost roughly $22 million in salary from his final season with Barcelona, but he still makes roughly $75 million with PSG and saw a significant increase in endorsements that matched his 12-month record from last year’s study. Lakers forward LeBron James came in second at $121.2 million, beating his own previous record for an NBA player ($96.5M). He’s the 10th athlete and first NBA player to surpass $100 million. Messi’s rival Cristiano Ronaldo ($115M) is third on the list in a year that saw him return to Manchester United from Juventus and earn $60 million in salary. Ronaldo made an additional $55 million in endorsements and other off-field investments, including Tatel Restaurants and ZujuGP, an app engaging the global soccer community. The 10 highest-paid athletes earned $992 million over the past year — a 6% decrease from 2021. Source:https://uphorial.com/post/lionel-messi-tops-forbes-highest-paid-athletes-for-2022
