David Beckham, Real Madrid
Total Earning : $29.1 million eqv £15.8 million eqv €23.2 million
No one can shift soccer merchandise like Beckham. He did it for Manchester United during his pomp and for Real Madrid over the past four years, where he won over the fans if not the critics. Now coming to America on the back of a potential $250 million marketing and playing deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy, he has proved he has the marketing savvy to put him in the elite of sports commercial superstars who outlast their playing days.

The highest paid footballer would be Ronaldo, from Portugal.
He with his continued amazing performance in English premier league, has become the best buddy of all advertisement firms.
And is commanding the most ammount then any other player, and he also deserves it.
