Top 10 richest sportspersons in the world right now

Sport is all about putting in the hard yards and having the ability to translate them into a win on the field. An athlete who is supremely skillful and has held on to the highest echelons of his or her respective sport creates enough opportunities for making money off the field.
And if the athlete is blessed with great looks and a demeanor to die for, he or she becomes a magnet for brand endorsements that can run into years and millions of dollars. In most cases, sportspersons end up earning more through endorsements than their earnings on the field.
