Usain Bolt
Michael Jordan
Ronaldo
Messi
LeBron James
Tom Brady
Tiger Woods
Derek Jeter

Very tough choice but I'm swapping lives with Ronaldo. Although I bet Michael Jordan's prime would have been hella fun, plus how he's a billionaire with a team

Absolutely. Dude hit the genetic lottery. Could be the most popular male model in the world if he wanted to be and is one of the best ever at by far the most popular sport in the world.

What does that even mean? By what means are we supposed to measure these people's satisfaction with their lives?

Ronaldo has got to be up there. LeBron is and for the rest of his life will be the undisputed king of his hometown.


Jordan would be pretty great, but he's getting up there in age.

Guys like Ronaldo, Messi, etc are still in the prime of their careers. They have TONS of hardware and are still at or very near the top of their games.


Obviously being a Jordan/Kobe/Tiger type would be great with all the money and a full career of elite play, but those days are over now and I imagine it kills those guys to some extent that their bodies can't perform the way they used to. They could still dominate their sport from a mental standpoint, but their bodies won't let them anymore.

I feel really bad for those guys who had a taste of being elite but lost it all due to injury.

Ronaldo and Bolt

Ronaldo for everything that's already been stated.

The thing Bolt has going for him is that he can pretty much train wheverever he wants while picking and choosing when and where he competes. None of the other active athletes on that list, outside of Tiger, can really say that when they're in season. I can't believe he's not getting more love.

Why is Usain bolt even mentioned lol.

I agree with Ronaldo hitting the genetic jackpot.

Runner up would be jeter.

For me, I don't care too much about Jordan being a billionaire, I'd be content with the $200m the other guys are worth

Maybe not a superstar in some of your minds (yet) but Dustin Johnson has it going pretty terrific right now..

not ronaldo. he may have hit the genetic lottery, but he isn't the best player in his sport, and it haunts him. his own son prefers messi. i think it kills him and he lives in mental hell.

i'm going with jeter.
