i totally respect him for that, money isnt everything and if anyone knows the essence of football its the south americans. most of these guys came from the streets ... so respect and the joy of the sport come before money, he makes a lot of it anyway.

Pele. He is the all-time top scorer in the history of the Brazil national team and is the only footballer ever to win three World Cup trophies (it should be noted that, due to injury, he did not participate in Brazil's World Cup triumph in 1962 and did not recieve a medal). \n\nEnjoy!!!

I know who is the highest: Frank Lampard at 9,8 Million Euro per year. Hope this helps.

I don't think he has personally. He was just a guy that played sport and was really good at it.\n\nHe may have done charity work off the field but I do not know of any.\n\nBut I guess if you want to find anything at all, you could say he inspired others to succeed??

I assume you mean from sports alone - no endorsments or acting gigs. If this is the case, the highest paid athlete is Alex Rodiguez (NY Yankees) - a bit more than $25 million a year. With endorsements deals and pet projects, it is Tiger Woods.

THE PLAYER THAT PUNISHED THE MOST RIDICULOUS PLAYER IN THE WORLD DURING THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE WORLD.

There are many great moments in sports, but very few of them happened more than once.  Wilt never scored another 100 points, no one hits 70+ HR a year for several years, very few teams dominate a decade with championships, there are too many variables that have to be controlled for them to happen.\n\nThis is why I think that Lance Armstrong has accomplished the greatest feat(s) in sports.  He was a dominate rider( youngest world champion, TDF stage winner,) before over coming  terminal cancer to win the TDF (tour de france) SEVEN times in a row.  The TDF is the most physical, emotional, and mental challenge in sports.  Cycling has so many variables to it, its nearly impossible to control them.  \n\nIn addition how many of our sports "icons" raise the awareness level of a cause (Cancer) to the level he has, how many drop millions into the cause?  Answer:  Not a enough....Period.  \n\nLance Armstrong has accomplished the greatest feat(s) in sports, he has raised the bar for all that follow; to become a social icon for a cause and the most dominate sportsman in 10 year period.  No one else holds a candle to this!!

Who is that? If he's not a sports-star then you probably should re-post this question in a different section.
