As usual, hoops dominates the top 10. There are 3 current or former basketball players, two golfers, one boxer, and one NASCAR, Formula One, and Motorcycle Driver. No one can touch Tiger Woods, who earned an annual income ($110 million) more than double his closest competitor. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan tied for second at $45 million. LeBron James came in sixth with $40 million in total earnings. Shaquille O’Neal (11th) and Kevin Garnett (17th) round out the top 20.
