World's Highest Paid Athletes | Every Year 1990 - 2021

Top 10 highest paid athletes in the world every year since 1990 acording to Forbes magazine.


In the year 2001 there has been a change in reporting period for the list of the highest paid athletes according to Forbes magazine - the previous list and all before that were for a whole calendar year - e.g. the previous list was published in March 2001, and represented the whole year 2000. The next list was published in July 2002 for the period June 2001 to June 2002. Therefore there is no list for 2001. The data that is displayed only in that year in this video is an avarage of the numbers before and after the gap, although it is well agreed that Tiger Woods was the top earner in that year.
