1, Lionel Messi
Messi won the Golden Globe Award for the world's best men's soccer player with 202 1, but his life on the court has been rather sad recently. In his last season for Barcelona, he scored 38 goals in 47 games and only 9 goals in 32 games for Paris Saint-Germain Club.

3. Christian Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo played for Manchester United from 2003 to 2009. Most of C Ronaldo's earning power comes from his huge social media account: he has 690 million fans on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, which gives him a bargaining chip for asking sponsors such as Nike, Herbalife and Clear Shampoo for sky-high prices.
4. Neymar.
Neymar scored his 400th career goal on June 5438+065438+ 10, but like Messi, he was criticized after his early withdrawal from the Champions League at Paris Saint-Germain Club. He also joined the world of NFTs and signed a contract with the platform NFTSTAR in June165438+1October.

9. tom brady.
Tom Brady's retirement in this offseason lasted less than six weeks, which is good news for tampa bay buccaneers team, because he ushered in a spectacular 20021season at the age of 43.
10, Janis atokumbo.
With Neymar turning 30 in February, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only one in the top ten this year who is in his twenties. He also signed a license agreement with NFT platform NFTSTAR, and added WhatsApp and Google's Pixel6 mobile phone to his stable endorsement.
