Here at PinoyMoneyTalk, we’ve always been a fan of the “List of the World’s Richest.”
We continue this today with a list of the top-paid sports persons in 2009. Compiled by Forbes Magazine, the ranking is based on earnings of the athletes from salaries, bonuses, prize money, endorsements and licensing income between June 2008 and June 2009 and does not deduct for taxes or agents’ fees.
Interestingly, Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is ranked 6th on the list, having earned more than $40 million.
