Sportico recently published the top 100 highest-paid athletes in 2022 and – lo and behold – LeBron James is the king ahead of the three soccer superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
James earned almost three times more than his current salary with the Los Angeles Lakers thanks to his many endorsement deals. No other athlete got paid more through sponsors and brand endorsements than James.
King James is not alone at the top as far as NBA players go, however, as Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and James Harden made it to the Top 10, too.
Check out below the NBA players on that list.
