LeBron James

Third place in the ranking Forbes ranks LeBron James. In 2014, he earned 72 $ 300,000, so it gets the title “the richest athlete of 2014 in the world of basketball”.

Of Course, a six-foot American (growth 203 cm) made their money not only ‘baskets". A considerable amount in its budget introduced an advertising campaign and the sale of the shares of the manufacturer of audio equipment.

Fans of the sport watching his victories and movement on the basketball line, and James was a lot. He conquered not one championship, participated twice in the Olympic games, has repeatedly received the title of «NBA star”.

The Career of James from the beginning was only in the mountain, and even not being a star, it is earned. But few people know how hard it is to keep the weight off. LeBron James is famous for its stunning play on the basketball court, open emotions, a constant struggle with weight and the title “the richest athlete in basketball”.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Second place in the ranking gets a Portuguese footballer Ronaldo thanks to 80 000 000 dollars earned last year.

Ronaldo refers to those«arguments», from which soccer began to look the fairer sex. This factor allowed Cristiano to their additional millions from advertising campaigns. Although it is worth noting that the player he is excellent and has the right to choose the contract that will allow him to comfortably exist for many years.

The richest athlete in the world of football couldn't get a lady. Quite a long time, his companion was our compatriot Irina Shayk, but the wedding never took place, and soon the couple parted. In the summer of 2010 Cristiano became a father the son he gave birth to a surrogate mother.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Here's who really have to earn their money with sweat and blood, so it is boxer Mayweather. In 2014, he earned a 105 000 000 dollars. Today undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather is the richest athlete in the world.

Floyd old boxer, his father and uncles were professionals in the ring. Not finish my studies, Mayweather left school and devoted himself entirely to Boxing. In youth champion had to support his family because his father served time for drugs. The boxer also has a criminal record for beating his girlfriend in front of children.

And even though Floyd grew up in poverty and iniquity, he has achieved great success. His nickname is “Money”, and that says a lot!

It is Noteworthy that even the richest sportsmen of Russia was not included in the list of Forbes. Only one athlete – Maria Sharapova – once again named the most successful and occupies the 26th place in the list.
