The 10 Highest-Paid Athletes In The World 2022 | Forbes

- Lionel Messi was only 17 when he began suiting up for the top squad at FC Barcelona, so it was more than a little jarring when, after 17 seasons, he left the only professional home he had ever known to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain last August.
In one regard, though, this season marked a return to familiar territory for the 34-year-old soccer superstar.
With $130 million in pre-tax gross earnings over the last 12 months, Messi claims the top spot in Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s highest-paid athletes, leading the list for the second time (the other was in 2019). Although Forbes estimates that Messi’s salary is down some $22 million from his final year with Barcelona-to $75 million this season at PSG-a major boost in endorsements helps him equal the record 12-month total for a soccer player he posted last year, when he finished No. 2 to MMA fighter Conor McGregor.

Mbappe is about too rule this list for quite some time.😎
But Mbappe still put work to stand in class of CR7 AND M10
Not really...
@Fahad Ishaan what do you mean by no ? His signing bonus itself is 140 million dollars
@@akss9777 So what. He is going to win many Ballon D'Ors and he is the best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo. When these guys earned so much nobody said anything.
ture
we can expect to see Mbappé dominating next year
For the next 15 years
Ofc he's going to be the new owner of PSG lol
Endorsement wise he can't match with Messi or Ronaldo right now!!!
@@RDGikTv he got a 300M signing bonus with a 100M per year, he's going to earn nearly as much as those 2 without the endorsements
@@RDGikTv mbappe will be earning over 100m in salary without endorsements, he will likely make 150m+ next few years
3:58 Neymar dives into NFTs... I see what you did there. Sublime.
Roger being the highest earning tennis player despite hardly playing is what I'm here for.
Icon status
The smile on his prolly is one reason to that. He's Roger Federer the greatest
Same can be said for Bale
@@Ralphflowers for you
Messi is worth every damn penny
Messi🤩🤩🤩
ronaldo can literally quit sports and businesses and still make hundreds of millions only thru his social medias dude that's insane by just posting he makes a ton of money most athletes could only dream of in their entire career
Cristiano Ronaldo earns way more from all of his businesses.
Yup that's from his social media and endorsement, underwear model and stuff as an athlete cornor and messi is on par with each other
@@subhashismandal9871 yes he is probably gonna make billions one day because of his business ventures only GOD knows when
but currently the bulk of his wealth came from endorsement deals and one of them is that of nike whose worth $1 billion thru the entirety of his life
@@JustaWonderer419 yeah the dude can literally be worth $10 billion if he wants to by prioritizing his social media earnings without any needs of sports and business ventures anymore but he might have $100 billion in mind 🤯
so can every other athlete on this list and more
I hope my American siblings now know what football is.
Messi might be the smallest in size but not in earnings my guy
Probably thanks to PSG earnings. If Ronaldo went to higher-paying club and had the same or close earnings from the club then he would definitely be Number 1 in terms of earnings. But in the interview he said that he could go play in Qatar or other rich clubs where he can get paid more but he refused. Passion over money, cannot say the same about messi and mbappe.
@@Shawn.Shooter triggered much 🤦🏽♂️ the dude only commented on Messi's height while u wrote an essay lol
@@Shawn.Shooter dude chill . Messi>>>>>
Isigne is taller 🥲
@@Shawn.Shooter bro chill dont cry
Football on Top ❤️⚽
messi stays dominating this list😱
Check again. The 2023 list is already out.
Nice video
Mbappe : 1 million Euros/week in new PSG contract
Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Messi. Messi. Messi. MISSED the most important rounds in the Champions League. He missed a penalty, why does he keep shooting them is beyond me, he's trash
I'm so proud to see my nigeria brother "Giannis antetokounmpo" making the forbes list. Naija all the way🇳🇬❤️
Giannis is from Greece lol
@@Danish_Khan1021 yeah he looks just like Alexander the Great.
They should update a new version with mbappe
This is for the guy who said the money says Ronaldo is better 🐽🤡
he actually could just sit his @$$ quit football quit business ventures and do nothing at all and make money out of his social media platforms (mostly thru instagram) and would still make $100 million plus a year that's insane he can just make money out of pics and videos
Ronaldo was the highest paid athlete for years in a row. Ronaldo is 37 and is still on the list.
Ronaldo doesn’t have the habit of taking oil money,he is a dedicated athlete not a money digger like pussi and his club psg
😝
This were the worst football fan who compare goat how much money did you make this year 🤫🤫🤫
Sheeeesh look at Messi shinin'
Lebron also makes money from liverpool🤷
Messi ❤️❤️❤️
no 1in everything Messi
That's why messi is the best football player
It's the other way around, he is the highest paid athlete because he is the best football player. He isn't the best because he is the highest paid.
Crazy
Soccer and basketball always dominate with earnings. If anything i have mad respect for Federer who earns more than anyone else in endorsements.
Football**
Nice
canelo could have been number 1 if his last fight with bivol was like 2 weeks earlier,
true
According to Forbes he would have 130m if included so level with Messi
Mbappé: ok then
MESSI RONALDO NEYMAR!!
Do the updated one with Mbappe being number 1
€600mil after tax in 3 years, its ridiculous..
He is the richest in instant, that doesnt include endorsement just salary
Tax knockout 🤣
@@fudgerace4356 48m £ Per year...as net salary + Bonuses
you really belive Those social media trolls 🤣...
@@Vladimirputin11111 that bonuses is around €50mil, its pretty much the same..
even LaLiga president acknowledge the €600mil and complained it to UEFA
Mbappe will be next year for sure 🤡 not this year also Messi's sponsorships are up to 10 times more than Mbappe since Messi is VERY well known he is a legend mbappe is new
"I make a milli a week"- Mbappe
@@johnholmes2745 So they also sportsmen?
Messi makes 2.4 million a week dude.
@@Jerryorantex-zk6lj Yeah..but Mbappe will be earning more next season
Not enough to be in the highest paid athletes in the world. Messi is a billionaire and has multiple sponsorships unlike mbappe he only has signed a contract.
@@Jerryorantex-zk6lj Maybe.but in terms of salary in a club.. Mbappe will be earning more
The GOAT messi
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 🤝 CHICAGO USA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I see messi i click
King of soccer 👑 Messi
love how it’s all mainly soccer players, suiiiiiiiiii
Its football brother 👍
There were more basketball players than football(soccer) players😭. There were 4 basketball and 3 soccer. So basketball had the most in the top 10
There were 4 basketball players, 3 soccer players, boxer, tennis, football player
Yet LeBron James is the richest of all them 😂
Next year Mbappe
Neymar ❤️❤️🔥
Football is best and most played and most popular sport in the world.
VAMOS MESSI !!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile me being broke!!!
Love how the top earners are all football players
Lm10💥
Legend Cristiano Ronaldo 😈🔥
he actually could just sit his @$$ quit football quit business ventures and do nothing at all and make money out of his social media platforms (mostly thru instagram) and would still make $100 million plus a year that's insane he can just make money out of pics and videos
Greek freak gannis make it, awesome ❤🙏
Why does he pronounce it as ronooldo 😂
Brady commentary deal is the most brilliant deal I've ever heard off
You never heard more than 1 billion lifetime deal between Nike and lebron
@@ladymarvin1620 well but he'll still endorse the products this is something unheard off and undone
@@ladymarvin1620 well but he'll still endorse the products this is something unheard off and undone
You never heard that LeBron is the first active athlete in history of sports to reach a one billion dollar net worth while still playing..
While Tom is around 200 million net worth
I should be on this list tbh
What a price
Mbappe
Mexicoooooo 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
Canelooooooo
Could someone explain to me why Lebron James make even close to Lionel and Ronaldo when , soccer is a global sport . Shouldn’t they be making triple what he makes ?
Hes an exceptional businessman, most of the money all these atheletes make dont come from their on field salaries.
One name ..... AMERICA
He is a part owner of LFC, that is why.. and also the letter F on LFC is "football".
You only americans do the soccing.
There are only a couple hundred NBA players. Lebron as top dog takes most of the available earnings (from salary, income and sponsorship). Football is more Global, but 10 of 1000s of players.
American sports has mastered the art of marketing...
Surprised Lewis Hamilton isn’t there
It's funny because with the contractual bonuses Mbappé earn in a season what McGregor earned in career.
💜💛💜💛💜💛
Advertiser know who Messi is.
Will
Cr7 will broke the record now ✌️😅
Football ⚽ >>> Handegg 🏈
Messi 🤍 Neymarr 🤍 Cristiano 🤍
Mbappe watching: amateur numbers
💛💜💯
You did this a tad bit too soon
How did Messi beat errybody else? thought he wasn't getting the big bag like CR...
Psg has more money
@@elvisochieng6267 i don't think that's the case, I'm terms of salary from em Ronaldo was said be earning more from Man U. So Messi prolly just made bigger moves
Because Messi is only have higher salary.. but when it comes to business and endorsements LeBron is paid much
@@Ralphflowers yeah ronaldo made a tons of money by selling his branding rights for $400 million last year if im not mistaken
then taking advantage of his fame by easily raking $100 million plus out of his social media platforms alone that is a serious feat it means ronaldo could just quit sports and business all at once and still make $100 million a year by just taking a pictures and videos of himself then posting it online 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
@@Ralphflowers actually it is in terms of salary his the highest paid then Neymar then Ronaldo
Next Year MPAYPA (Mbappe) 100M a year his football salary and probably like 40M sponsors
Wait till Mbappe next year
1:31
Brady 🐐
why are there no f1 drivers
Real football
That's last year's news. Try again this year, 2023.
mpaypal comin in soon
Lol where Mayweather at?
no cricket players😕
No cricket player is a businessman like these top 10
1. Mbappé
You need Red Bull, buddy! You really sound tired, are you ok?
LeBron was 1st until Messi made the deal with the Middle East
And LeBron still Rich than Messi
What?
Last year Messi was second ( connor on top) and lebron was 4th.
I think this is the first time lebron came in the top 3
@@ladymarvin1620 Yes, overall. But he's never gonna be first on this list.
@@ladymarvin1620Messi could’ve signed a blank check with man city but he refused it. Shanghai football club offer him 300 million per year contract and he refused it. Football athlete don’t play for money but the love of the game. Messi at 37 about to signed 400 million per year contract I hope he doesn’t refuse it
💳
By the time they pass away I predict Ronaldo will be more well known and known for longer since he's beyond football .What I mean by that is that he donates blood and gave his ballon d'or in honour of charity. That's just my honest opinion
@Jeremy Grant Yes,for me Messi is the better player to watch but Ronaldo has played in many more leagues than Messi aswell.
@@la23s.a.22 its not about who is best its about how you longer you have dominated ronaldo is still dominating in the age 37 just imagine how much hardwork he does. If it's comes to football then the best is messi but if it comes to better athlete then ronaldo is one of the best athlete of all time.
@Jeremy Grant yup messi is not concerned and yet there are more footballing legend calling him goat then rono ever has
@@rameshdhungana3786 Zlatan :- I'm 39.
@Jeremy Grant True
Mbappe won’t make all that for long
Mbappe will wash all these on wages, these lot make $600000 a week, apparently PSG will be giving him a million a week
Mbpappe probably just beat all of these
Yes his 150 Million signing bonus should enough
@@stavas05 some reports put it closer to 300 million
@@od9694 yes my information was old but that only makes it crazier
Its €600mil in 3 years after tax
@@fudgerace4356 that's the reported wage but their is also signing bonus
Virat Kohli
He only made 127 million in his ENTIRE career. Messi has made more than that amount in ONE single year
all that coverage on Brady, but literally barely spoke at length about minorities.
4 of top 10 and 2 of top 5.......
NBA atheletes really getting that bag💰
f1 drivers out this time around
Most of the money goes trhough the car
Ok
I made $ 0.00
please forbes Canelo did not score a victory in mai 2022 Bivol the russian was the winner, correct plase
Mbappe just made the list🤣
Not yet
he'll top it next year but not yet
@@jiggy7108 facts
football not soccer
Lebron is literally a goat
Nah he is a business man
So, three footballers and two basketball players top the top 5.... lebron still makes a lot of money, well he does live in the U.S. where alot of oppurtonities are presented.. note that messi and cristiano are not linked with any U.S brand....right or is herbalife that? Idk
Ronaldo is signed with Nike which is a U. S. company amongst many others
Excuses lebron is just an exceptional business man
but football is the most overrated sport in the world??
@@Centre14 it never is...you dont watch it enough or play it enough. Is great when you play
Football isn’t about money. Messi and Ronaldo could’ve when China or the Middle East in their mid 20 and make 400 million a year. Ronaldo making 200 million per year at 38 years old. while Messina about to signed a 400 million per year contract at 37. Football athlete play for the love of the game. Most athlete in the USA play for the bag.
Canelo did not win in may he lost to dimity
Sup
And still some fans:- Messi doesn't play for money
money 💰 follow him😊
Two Jealous
Okay CR7 fanClub
@@kwamenkrumah2224 nah messi leave for money
I just can't believe half them worth more than Tom Brady I think he should be number 1 in my opinion.... Like behind Jordan
Brady is not marketable enough... LeBron is a billionaire Jordan is a billionaire
Brady is not
@@ladymarvin1620 I was just helping out the white community with Brady 😂.... Like how cowboys America football team Brady should be that ... Cowboys not marketable lol can't win a Superbowl but 😭
