The list, which includes players from eight sports and 27 countries, puts soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo at the top with a reported $260 million from his salary, winnings and endorsements during 2024.
Following Ronaldo with reported earnings of $153.8 million is Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. Tyson Fury, Lionel Messi and LeBron James round out the top five.
As the list goes on, dozens of athletes from basketball, soccer, football, golf and more tout millions of dollars in earnings.
U.S. tennis phenomenon Coco Gauff was the top-earning female athlete last year, raking in an estimated $30.4 million in earnings. That puts her $7 million off No. 100, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones, who earned $37.5 million in 2024.
