Tiger Woods – $740m
Tiger Woods is among the most well-paid athletes of all time, so clearly the notion that there is not much money in golf is incorrect. Of course, a big chunk of his fortune comes from the endorsements he has and event appearances he makes. Sadly, his cheating scandal ended his marriage to Swedish model Elin Nordegren.
Brett Favre – $100m
Brett Favre has many NFL records to his name. After all, 19 years of being active in the NFL surely gave him opportunities to set those records. Practically all Americans know his name and face. He has gone into retirement and we hope that he is enjoying it.
