No sign of Rory McIlroy, you notice. He’s down in 14th spot with a mere $33.2 million to his name last year.
Between Rors and the top 10 are Derrick Rose ($33.4m), Manny Pacquiao ($35m) and some guy called Lionel Messi ($35.1m).
Maria Sharapova is the top earning female athlete pulling in $25.5 million last year. While fellow tenniser Li Na is perhaps a surprise name among the top 20 non-US stars with $17.3 million to her name last year.
What do you think, who doesn’t deserve the wedge they’re getting?
