Cristiano Ronaldo, the football icon, has once again claimed the top spot in Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes, marking his third consecutive year at number one. This achievement is noteworthy given that Ronaldo’s peak performance on the field is now behind him, and he no longer garners the same level of media attention as he did in his prime.
Joining Ronaldo in the esteemed top 20 are NBA superstar LeBron James and golfer Jon Rahm, both of whom have also made significant impacts in their respective sports.
