single
Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
Stanford University
His winless streak in golf's majors is at 7 and counting, but Tiger still managed to win his 5th straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award in 2003. Despite his recent stumbles on the fairways, it's still good to be Tiger. He's the world's number one ranked player, earns $70 million a year in endorsements and is about to marry Swedish former nanny/model Elin Nordegren.

Michael Schumacher$80 mil (Pay Rank: 2)
Auto Racing - Driver, Ferrari
Age: 35
married
Country Of Birth: Germany
Country Of Residence Switzerland
His annual salary from Ferrari, now approaching $40 million, makes him the world's highest-paid athlete. Schumacher dominates Formula One racing so thoroughly that the F1 racing circuit agreed to sweeping rule changes to curb the dominance of the six-time world champion.

Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
University of Tennessee
In March the second cog in the Manning quarterback dynasty received the largest signing bonus in the history of team sports—$34.5 million. Manning remains the highest-paid football player off the field as well, resulting from endorsement deals with companies like Reebok, Gatorade and DirecTV.

Country Of Residence United States
University of North Carolina
Jordan was rebuffed in his attempts to buy the Milwaukee Bucks last year, but many think he'll make a run at buying another team. In the meantime, he'll have to make due cashing checks from Nike that total close to $25 million a year. Nike's Jordan brand generates $500 million in revenue for the footwear company.

Shaquille O'Neal$31.9 mil (Pay Rank: 5)
Basketball - Center, Los Angeles Lakers
Age: 32

Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
Louisiana State University
With Kevin Garnett taking a pay cut in his latest contract, Shaq now has the highest salary in team sports. His three-year $88 million extension kicked in this past season. Endorsement deals with Starter, Nestlé and Radio Shack padded his salary.

Kevin Garnett$29.7 mil (Pay Rank: 6)
Basketball - Power Forward, Minnesota Timberwolves
Age: 28
single
Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
Garnett received a $1 million bonus from the Timberwolves for being elected the NBA's MVP in May. Garnett is the first MVP to take a 43% salary cut in the following season. Next season he'll earn $16 million as part of a five-year $100 million deal he inked in September, compared with $28 million this season.

Andre Agassi$28.2 mil (Pay Rank: 7)
Tennis
Age: 34
married
Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
Agassi's best days on the court are behind him, but off-the-court things have never been better. Agassi's $26 million in endorsement earnings from the likes of Nike and Cannon dwarf those of America's top-ranked men's tennis player, Andy Roddick. Next year Agassi gets a stock award from Nike worth $40 million for years of valuable service.

David Beckham$28 mil (Pay Rank:
Soccer - Midfield, Real Madrid
Age: 29
married
Country Of Birth: Great Britain
Country Of Residence Spain
Becks switched teams last year from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a $41 million transfer. Real Madrid signed up the soccer legend not so much for his on-the-field prowess, but for his ability to attract fans (and dollars), particularly in Asia. Off-the-field, Beckham has kept the tabloids busy with his alleged affair with his former assistant, and their salacious text messages.

Alex Rodriguez$26.2 mil (Pay Rank: 9)
Baseball - Third Base, New York Yankees
Age: 28

Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
A-Rod pocketed $500,000 for winning his first MVP trophy in 2003 with the Texas Rangers, but most of his income last year came from his $23 million base salary that is part of his historic ten-year, $252 million contract. His move to the New York Yankees promises to increase his exposure and marketability, but so far he's been turning down offers to concentrate on baseball.
$26 mil
Kobe Bryant$26.1 mil (Pay Rank: 10)
Basketball - Shooting Guard, Los Angeles Lakers
Age: 25
married
Country Of Birth: United States
Country Of Residence United States
Endorsements account for more than half of his $26 million in earnings, but his legal woes have severely damaged his image as a pitchman. Last year Nutella and McDonald's opted not to renew their deals, costing Bryant $2 million.
