Beckham ahead of Messi in earnings says it all - brand before ability

Well Messi has been in football 13 years less and is only £60M off I would say time in football means he is highest earning

Yep, I think it's overall earnings/wealth. Good to note that the Rags have put 4 of them in the top 10.

Another stat for the pub, me thinks.

While it is true. Beckham was a brand and sacked off because of it, Ronaldo is the 2nd best footballer on the planet after Bale and most money, Rooney is a ****. In fact I can only imagine Rio is on there through wages alone while the rest are mostly due to endorsements

Here's a list of the top ten highest earning footballers worldwide:

1. David Beckham - £175m
2. Lionel Messi - £115.5m
3. Cristiano Ronaldo - £112m
4. Kaka - £66.5m
5. Ronaldinho - £63m
6. Samuel Eto'o - £52m
7. Wayne Rooney - £50m
8. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - £47m
9. Rivaldo - £45.5m
10. Rio Ferdinand - £42m

On yahoo this morning.

Interesting how our players are moneygrabbers but the only two PL players on the list are rags!

It also reflects the sponsorship deals that are available to players who sign for the world's most hyped club. The oft-repeated claim that such and such a player has turned down offers of higher wages to sign for them is disingenuous to say the least.

Wio gets his fortune from sponsorship? A bit from Camel cigs but do hump backed bridges need promoting?

has Rio got away with it again?

I know there's still time for him to be charged, but I thought we'd have heard by now? Maybe it's because they played on the Sunday and the referee report is not yet in

My understanding is that a large portion of their income comes from image rights (which isn't reported or quoted for some reason...hmmm??). I'd love to see the details from the Inland Revenue investigation about these kind of payments.

How credible is the above list BTW?
