5. Roger Federer
A legend and the oldest player ever to be number one in the ATP world ranking, keeps pace with other well-paid sportsmen. The reason is quite simple – his partnership contracts guarantee him income of $86 billion. Tennis earned him $7,4 billion, yet his reputation, stability and gentlemanly behavior enabled him to cooperate with Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Credit Suisse, Moet, Barilla, Lindt, Wilson or Rimowa. Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo even managed to lure him from cooperation with Nike. Interestingly, his cooperation with Nike lasted for ten years and the company insured him for $300 billion.
