How does Messi get more money? I would have thought Ronaldo got more because of his marketability

i use to think that also. maybe he finaly god upperhand. he might not being pretty or sexy as ronaldo but hes b etter player so why not. is not like marketing companies can use "best player in the world" as a slogan for ronaldo anymore. only messi can use that for instance

As an American I can say that most of the athletes listed are overpaid.

Tiger Woods (golf); $62.3m
Phil Mickelson (golf); $61.2m
Roger Federer (tennis); $52.8m
Fernando Alonso (motorsport) $45m
LeBron James (basketball); $44.5m
Lionel Messi (soccer); $44m
Cristiano Ronaldo (soccer); $39m
Peyton Manning (american football); $38.1m
Alex Rodriguez (baseball); $36m
Yao Ming (basketball); $35.7m - hasn't played a full season in years, only there for his marketability
Kobe Bryant (basketball); $34.8m
Kevin Garnett (basketball); $32.8m - had a few good years with Boston but is over the hill now
Matt Ryan (american football); $32.7m- good QB but way overpaid
Rafael Nadal (tennis); $31.5m
Valentino Rossi (motosport); $30m
Tom Brady (american football); $30m
Wayne Rooney (soccer); $29.2m
Dwight Howard (basketball); $28.7m
Dwyane Wade (basketball); $28.2m
Kaka (soccer); $27.3m

Golf is just like tennis, tournaments pay out very well, if you are good you make a ton of cash, simples. Difference is you can golf until your 50s or 60s, can't do that in tennis. Then of course Tiger has massive endorsements and Phil rakes in a decent amount too.

I think it's the wages from the club/team they get per year.

Doesn't include other things such as sponsors etc.

Actually it does include sponsorship and endorsements, read for yourself, that's why Golfers and Tennis players earn so much, their earnings from winnings and prize money is very little.
