Every year, the American economic magazine Forbes presents its ranking of the 100 highest paid sportsmen in the world. This prestigious classification is very well followed and has become a must in a few years, which is not without entailing its share of controversies of all kinds. In 2019, Lionel Messi was crowned with $ 127 million in revenue for the year, followed closely by Cristiano Ronaldo with his annual $ 109 million and Neymar with his annual $ 105 million. For 2020, there are plenty of surprises, since the highest paid sportsman on the planet was not even part of the podium last season: it was tennis player Roger Federer.
