2023.12.04

Forbes has prepared a list of the highest-paid athletes in 2023. Cristiano Ronaldo is at the top due to his million-dollar deal with his current squad, Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Two more footballers round out the podium, but there are athletes from four sports in the top ten: basketball, tennis, golf, and…boxing. NBA players and golf winners with large prize money at events are well-known to all athletes.

The list considers both on-field profits and ‘off-field’ earnings from sponsorships and image rights.
