Real Madrid striker, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently sitting on the World’s richest sportsman’s list.
The Portuguese earned an incredible £70million in the last year, along with picking up another Champions League medal and becoming the inaugural winner of The Best FIFA Men’s Player award.
He is only £1m short of being the most wealthy celebrity on the continent, with Harry Potter author JK Rowling earning £71m in that same period.
Ronaldo is joined by just one Englishman on the list, with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton sitting in 11th place having earned £32m. And despite the money flowing through the Premier League, there is just one representative from England’s top flight, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic sneaking into the top 20 thanks to his earnings of £24m.
