All-inclusive ranking

American magazine Forbes considers not only sports revenue but also non-sports revenue (private contracts, image rights, advertising) to establish its ranking.

For example, McGregor, who earned $ 22 million on MMA, sold shares in a whiskey brand for $ 150 million and smashed the bank.

The difference between sports and non-sports income is huge for Roger Federer. Switzerland has earned $ 30,000 in the courts, thanks to contracts with Rolex, Uniclo, ON, Jura or Barilla and Credit Suisse for $ 90 million.

For football players and basketball players, this is a very high level of sports revenue.

These ten highest paid athletes in the world have amassed more than a billion dollars in total, 25% more than the 10 richest people last season.
