Top 10 Highest Paid Sportsmen In The World

Below is the current list of the top ten highest paid sportsmen in the world.  These are men who earn more in a day than most mere mortals earn in a year!  And before you think about getting on your politically-correct high horse and wonder why it’s not called ‘highest paid sportspeople’ it’s because the top ten highest paid athletes are all men – hence ‘sportsmen’.  This list changes each year and there are some obvious ones in there, but some that just may surprise you!
