C罗巨无霸般的收入来源于两部分。一部分是他令人眼红的3850英镑工资，他效力于西班牙巨头皇家马德里。另一部分来源于他总计2200万英镑的代言费，他为耐克、豪雅表、和营养品公司康宝莱代言。

His footballing rival Lionel Messi - who the 31-year-old beat to be crowned the World Player of the Year in January - was second on the list, taking home pound 56million in 2015/16.

同是足球运动员的梅西（今年一月梅西加冕成为世界足球先生）在2015-2016年度挣了5600万英镑，名列榜上第二。
