This just shows you how awesome we are in the US. Only here can you have a guy that is illiterate in 2019 make almost 1 billion dollars.

Is that strictly compensation for playing their particular sport, or does it include endorsements?

As far as greatness in their sport, Durant is very fortunate he makes that list.

Four brothers on the list. All from the US. But I keep hearing that we have so much racism in this country.

What? The guy is killing it with
his promotion business other ventures

Per Forbes: Mayweather may Be The Best Businessman In Sports

Hell,he was smart enough to dump
Arum in '07 and started self promoting and managing his own career.

What a stupid statement.

What the heck does making money as an entertainment have to do with people having hate for your skin tone?

Pretty sure Floyd doesn’t use checking accounts... dude is a moron and keeps millions of dollars lying around his house.

If that were true at any point in time, it wouldn’t have been long. Even the smallest, most podunk bank would get the excess invested before long. It’s in both parties best interest.

That’s if that ever happened with Floyd, which it did not.

Not only did Floyd make almost a billion dollars, he put Manny on the top 10 list as well.

Tiger Woods is the GOAT. Imagine how much money LeBron could make if he wasn’t such a ho.

Exactly. The hate on another person skin tone is minimal in the US that anyone of any color can succeed.
