The recent release of Forbes’ top 10 highest-earning athletes saw an interesting list of legendary sports stars, combined with the refreshing appearance of newcomers whose hard work and skills have earned them a spot on the prestigious listicle.
Cristiano Ronaldo of Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr topped the list with estimated earnings of $136 million. The second highest-earning athlete was Lionel Messi ($130) of PSG, while Kylian Mbappe came in third with estimated earnings of $120 million.
