The Al Nassr footballer boosted his finances in 2025. CR7 leads the list. The Al Nassr footballer owes his income to his salary with the Saudi club and his sponsorship deals. The Portuguese striker earned close to $275 million. In addition to his earnings, CR7 turned 40 and in 2025 surpassed 900 goals scored. Al Nassr's salary commitment is reflected in his numbers with the club (25 goals in one season). Next on the list is in the NBA.

Curry earned close to $156 million between his income from the Golden State Warriors and his personal brand. Third, completing the podium, is boxer Tyson Fury. The British fighter, who hung up his gloves in early 2025, still received huge earnings due to residual payments from the pay-per-view of his last fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
