Gli sportivi più ricchi del 2015: Mayweather batte (ancora) Pacquiao
Come già lo scorso anno, il pugile statunitense Floyd Mayweather chiude l’anno 2015 al comando della classifica degli sportivi più pagati. con un totale di 300 milioni di dollari, Money (mai soprannome fu più azzeccato) precede il suo grande rivale, il filippino Manny Pacquiao, che pur perdendo la sfida mondiale ha rimpinguato le sue casse con 148 milioni di dollari. Ben distante dai due pesi welter, il calciatore portoghese Cristiano Ronaldo si accontentale del terzo posto a quota 79.6 milioni, appenda davanti all’argentino Lionel Messi, con 73.8 milioni. Completa la top 5 il tennista svizzero Roger Federer (67 milioni), che deve la sua ricchezza soprattutto agli sponsor, voce per la quale resta il leader assoluto.
Scarsa la presenza femminile tra le migliori cento posizioni della classifica: vi troviamo infatti solamente due donne, le tenniste Maria Sharapova (ventiseiesima con 29.7 milioni di dollari) e Serena Williams (quarantasettesima con 24.6 milioni di dollari). Nessuno sportivo italiano è presente nella top 100, ma in classifica troviamo i due piloti della Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel (ventunesimo con 33 milioni) e Kimi Räikkönen (trentaduesimo con 27 milioni).
