Although Stephen Curry has been limited to only a handful of games due to injuries this season, the two-time Most Valuable Player landed in the top-10 on Forbes 2020 highest-paid athletes in the world list.
The Golden State point guard came in at No. 6 on the list, the second-highest NBA player behind only LeBron James (No. 5). Curry’s former Golden State teammate Kevin Durant was the third NBA player named in the top-10, coming in at No. 7.
Tennis athlete Roger Federer topped the list with international soccer stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi rounding out the top three spots.
