Forbes TOP 100: „Highest-Paid Athletes In The World 2020“
Aufgrund von Corona haben zum ersten mal seit vier Jahren die bestbezahlten Sportler der Welt leichte Gehaltseinbußen in Kauf nehmen müssen. Laut Forbes verdienten die Sportler im Ranking „Highest-Paid Athletes In The World 2020“ 3.6 Mrd. USD. Gegenüber dem Vorjahr war das ein Rückgang von 9%.
Roger Federer belegt mit einem Bruttoeinkommen von 106 Mio. USD zum ersten Mal den Spitzenplatz. Bei Federer haben sich insbesondere die lukrativen Werbeverträge mit Uniqlo, Credit Suisse und Mercedes-Benz sowie zehn weiteren Partnern in Höhe von 100 Mio. USD im Ranking positiv ausgewirkt. Auf Platz 2 folgt Christiano Ronaldo mit 105 Mio. USD. Der dritte Platz geht an Lionel Messi mit 104 Mio. USD.
Auf der Liste sind Sportler aus 21 Ländern und 10 Sportarten vertreten. Die bestbezahltesten Athleten sind wie gewohnt fast ausschließlich Männer. Lediglich zwei Frauen nämlich Naomi Osaka und Serena Williams schafften es auf die Liste.
