In 1997, Michael Jordan 'earned' $47 million from sponsorship alone. His basic salary topped that up to $78 million.
In 2001, Tiger Woods earned $5,760,000 in one morning. He played a single round of golf, each hole with 4 different amateurs. The 72 amateurs paid $80,000 each for the privilege of playing a single hole with the great one.
The highest earner in world football in 2001 was Zinadine Zidane (about UK£8 million - say $12 million). Beckham was second on the list with £6 million.
Rivaldo? Small potatoes in the money-earning stakes.
