Shaq kind of surprises me to see on this list. Where does most of his revenue come from?

I'm pretty sure his contract with the Cavs was a 1 year $15 million contract

absurd i know

Dang, that's crazy he got that much after being so old and as many games as he's missed late in his career.

Was this list US athletes only? I'm sure in Europe some of the premier soccer players have crazy contracts and endorsements i.e. Cristiano Ronaldo.

I have trouble seeing $20M in earnings for Tiger in 2010, much less why anyone would pay him $70M in endorsements. Must be previous contracts, most likely not to be renewed!:(

[BaseballUmp]

Yea, he made $90 million and lost $22 million in endorsements this year

I cant believe Floyd has made 60 million dollars in earnings this year.
