France Football magazine has released this year’s list of the world’s highest-earning soccer players – Rooney earned $32,6 million for a single goal, and Samuel Eto’o got $37 million for moving to Russia. And to everybody’s surprise, Beckham isn’t the biggest earner anymore; see who’s taken the lead after the jump.
The highest-earning football player in the world is also the best player presently living – Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, who earned $52 million in wages and endorsements in 2011. Which is surprising given the fact that Beckham is presently sponsored by every single company on the planet.
