5위 타이거 우즈
pay : 90 M
Woods, still young at 30, has earned $58 million in career tournament winnings, $12 million more than his closest competitor. Add to that lucrative deals with blue chips like Nike, Accenture, General Motors and American Express, and it's no wonder golf's crown prince can afford playthings like his recent purchase of 155-foot yachts and a ten-acre oceanfront estate on Florida's exclusive Jupiter Island. He's not hording his fortune, either. The just opened, $25 million Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif., features a state-of-the-art educational center and golf practice area for kids.
13위 무하마드 알리
pay : 55 M
The boxing legend sold the rights to his name and image this year for $50 million to licensing mastermind Robert Sillerman, chief executive of CKX, who adds the champ to his stable of iconic American brands that includes "American Idol" and Elvis Presley. Sillerman dubbed his newly formed company G.O.A.T., a nod to Ali's nickname, Greatest of All Time. The three-time heavyweight champ will retain a 20% interest in the business. Ali's name has generated between $4 million and $7 million annually over the past five years, largely through endorsement deals with companies like Adidas and Electronic Arts.
18위 필 미켈슨
pay : 47 M
With his Masters win in April, Mickelson has won a major tournament for three straight years, a feat only he and Tiger Woods have accomplished in the past two decades. Mickelson earned $5 million on the course over the past 12 months, but the bulk of his income is from sponsors like Ford, Exxon Mobil and Bearing Point. His biggest deal is a ten-year agreement with golf club maker Calloway worth more than $10 million a year. Look for Mickelson to sign deals with a financial services firm and a telecom outfit in the coming months.
25위 코비 브라이언트
pay : 31 M
With his past legal troubles finally laid to rest, Bryant has devoted himself to his sport. His 81 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in a January game against Toronto were the second highest in NBA history. Bryant led his team to the playoffs despite a less-than-stellar supporting cast. Nike released a Bryant signature shoe that sold well and added several million to his $10 million Nike base pay. He also announced plans to switch his jersey number from 8 to 24.
26위 마이클 조던
pay : 32 M
MJ's endorsements have been pared down to a handful, including Gatorade, Sara Lee and Upper Deck. The bulk of his income, though, still comes from the Swoosh. Nike's Jordan brand is a $500 million business (sales) and finished the year with record profits and sales. In addition to the legendary basketball star, Nike employs an elite list of athletes to market the Jordan brand, including Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony and Derek Jeter. Jordan's latest book, "Driven From Within," has sold 111,000 copies since its fall release, according to Nielsen BookScan.
30위 마이클 슈마허
pay : 58 M
After five straight World Championships (seven in total), Schumacher came back to earth last year, finishing third in the year-end standings. After winning 12 races the previous year, Schumi reached the top of the podium only once in 2005. Much of the blame went to inferior Bridgestone tires. Schumacher remains the highest-paid racer in Formula One, with a nearly $40 million salary from team owner Ferrari.
41위 샤킬 오닐
pay : 30 M
Shaq signed a new five-year, $100 million contract last year with the Miami Heat, which represented a 28% pay cut. Even so, he remains the NBA's highest-paid player. Shaq and his size 23 feet endorse a line of Nike sneakers that retail for less than $40, while his b-ball counterparts pitch $100-plus shoes. His sales this year are expected to hit 11 million units, a figure likely to explode when the line becomes available next year in China.
43위 데이비드 베컴
pay : 27 M
Despite losing Vodafone as a sponsor last year, England's captain remains soccer's most valuable pitchman, thanks to rich deals with the likes of Adidas and Gillette. He also helps his Real Madrid team generate more revenue than any other team in soccer. Beckham is preparing for his post-soccer career by opening soccer academies in both London and Los Angeles.
46위 르브론 제임스
pay : 26 M
James, 21, led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the playoffs for the team's first time in eight years. He finished second in the MVP balloting. Lebron-mania hit a peak this spring when the Cavs, on the back of King James, came within a game of knocking the powerhouse Pistons out of the playoffs. To commemorate James' first playoff appearance, chief sponsor Nike had T-shirts emblazoned with the brand's iconic swoosh and the word "Witness." The $20 shirts sold for more than $100 on eBay during the Pistons series. His Cavs contract expires next year, and speculation is rampant over whether he'll resign--league rules prohibit the Cavs from offering an extension until July--or move to a bigger market. Look for James to pad his wallet with a blockbuster endorsement deal with a yet-to-be-named technology company in the near future.
48위 알렉스 로드리게스
pay : 29 M
A year of historic firsts for A-Rod. On top of his $25 million salary, he pocketed a $1 million bonus for winning his second Most Valuable Player award last year. Last year, at 29, he became the youngest player in Major League history to hit his 400th home run. He also set a Yankee record for the most home runs in a season by a right-handed hitter. The certain first-ballot Hall of Famer has endorsement deals with Nike, PepsiCo and Topps.
52위 탐 브래디
pay : 29 M
The NFL's golden boy cashed in last year when he signed a new contract that paid $26.5 million in bonuses during its first year. Brady soared from sixth-round draft choice to become the first quarterback in NFL history to win three Super Bowls before his 28th birthday. His unprecedented streak of playoff victories finally ended at ten this year when the Patriots fell to the Denver Broncos. Brady turns down many more endorsement deals than he accepts, but still finds time to pitch for Nike, Sirius and Visa.
53위 호나우지뉴
pay : 28 M
The soccer legend captured his second straight FIFA Player of the Year award last season. He stars in an eye-popping Nike ad that has the "futbol" genius masterfully handling the soccer ball as though he were born with it. Fans buzzed all over the Internet debating the ad's veracity, before Nike fessed up that the spot's soccer ball trickery was digitally altered. No matter, since the spot had already been viewed online 12 million times since its fall release. Nike, along with fellow sponsors PepsiCo and Lenovo, are banking on Ronaldinho's emerging a bona fide star from this year's World Cup as he leads Brazil in its attempts to capture a sixth title.
58위 데릭 지터
pay : 27 M
The Yankee captain is baseball's second-highest-paid endorser. (Japan's Ichiro Suzuki is first, thanks to cash earned in Asia.) His portfolio of deals includes Nike, Ford, Gatorade and a memorabilia contract with Steiner Sports. But it's Jeter's baseball contract that pays the bills. He is in the sixth year of a ten-year, $189 million contract that nets him $21 million this year.
63위 마리아 샤라포바
pay : 19 M
In August, Sharapova became the first female Russian to top the pro female tennis ranks. Injuries have hampered the 6-foot-2 beauty since then, but she's still the highest-paid female athlete in the world thanks to a bevy of endorsement deals from the likes of Nike, Colgate-Palmolive, Canon and Motorola, among others. This year she signed a three-year deal with Land Rover.
64위 발렌티노 로시
pay : 30 M
Who knew riding a motorcycle could be so profitable? Rossi won his fifth straight MotoGP World Championship last year riding for Yamaha. After accomplishing everything there is to do in the moto world, speculation ran rampant that he would race for Ferrari as part of Formula One once his Yamaha contract expired at the end of 2006. But Rossi and Yamaha put those tantalizing rumors to rest recently when they extended their partnership into 2007.
73위 카슨 파머
pay : 28 M
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback led his perennially hapless team to the playoffs last year for the first time in 15 years. The reward for his stellar play was a nine-year, $119 million contract signed in December that included $24 million in bonuses. The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft led the league with 32 touchdowns last year, but is now recovering from a devastating knee injury suffered during last season's playoffs. Memorabilia sales, in addition to deals with Nike, Huntington Bank and Cincinnati Bell, add as much as $1 million annually to his income.
74위 미셸 위
pay : 17 M
The youngest member of the Forbes Celebrity 100 turned pro in October, turning 16 only days later. Wie left the amateur ranks armed with at least $10 million in annual endorsement deals from Nike and Sony. She inked more deals this year from the likes of watchmaker Omega and Korean real estate firm Shin Young, among others. Wie's dream of competing in the men-only Masters ended this year after failing to place at the U.S. Open section qualifier in June.
87위 세레나 윌리암스
pay : 10 M
Injuries have limited the younger Williams sister to only three tournament matches in 2006. She's kept busy with other interests, including appearances on television's "ER" and "The Bernie Mac Show." Last year Williams co-starred with sister Venus in ABC Family's reality show "Venus and Serena: For Real." While she has barely played over the past year, Williams still makes a healthy living through sponsorship deals with Nike, Wilson and McDonald's. Last year, Estée Lauder signed her to develop a new line for its Flirt line of cosmetics.
90위 비너스 윌리암스
pay : 7 M
The former top-ranked player in the world had a resurgence last year when she won Wimbledon, her first Grand Slam title in four years. Ranked 16th at the time of the win, she was the lowest-ranked women's player to win the title at the All England Club. Her nearly three-hour finals win against top-ranked Lindsay Davenport was the longest women's final in the event's history. Injuries have kept Williams off the court for much of 2006, but she retains valuable endorsement deals with American Express, McDonald's and Wilson.
91위 아니카 소렌스탐
pay : 8 M
While the young stars on the LPGA grab the headlines, 36-year-old Sorenstam remains the most consistent player. Last year she won her eighth Rolex Player of the Year award, and her prize money topped $2 million for the fifth straight year. (No other female player has ever reached $2 million.) Over her career, Sorenstam's $19 million in on-course earnings are 60% more than any other female golfer has made. Last year, Sorenstam re-upped her endorsement deal with clubmaker Callaway through 2010.
탐 크루즈가 1위이고 공동 35위로 애니스턴과 졸리가 나란히 있네요. ㅎㅎ
