By far, I think Ronaldinho from Brazil is the best player in the world. Not just because he is productive, but also he elevates soccer to a new level.

Actually I think you need to look a little further than the shores of the USA, if your asking the WORLDS richest. The article below tells Manchester United Football Club (Soccer) as the worlds richest sports club, since this article they have been overtaken by Real Madrid (Soccer)\n\nCBC SPORTS ONLINE - Not even the New York Yankees can touch the financial juggernaut that is Manchester United. \n\nAccording to figures released by sports business group Deloitte & Touche, the English soccer giants topped the list of the world's richest sports franchises for 2002-03. \n\n\nRELATED: \nCBC Sports Online Soccer Tracker\nThe figures ranked the top 20 soccer franchises in the world and compared those figures with the top 10 teams from other pro sports. \n\nManchester United, the reigning champions of the English Premiership, posted revenues of $413.3 million for the 2002-03 season. \n\nBy comparison, the Yankees (the top money money-earner in the U.S.) hauled in $400.8 million in revenue, while the NFL's Washington Redskins (2nd overall in the U.S.) earned $325 million. \n\nThe soccer club's fortune was built on its overwhelming success in domestic competition (they've won nine of the last 12 league championships) and selling out their 67,000-capacity Old Trafford Stadium for each of their home games. \n\nAccording to the report, 40 per cent of the club's revenue came from the gate, 33 per cent from broadcasting rights and the remaining 27 per cent from commercial ventures. \n\nThe club sold more than 2.5 million replica shirts during the year, with 40 per cent of those sales coming outside the United Kingdom, a testament to how much of a global marketing phenomenon the soccer club really is.

When you said the most expensive football player that means how expensive you can sell him it doesn´t matter his salary only matter is the revenue (for the club) for that player. \n\nI have to say that is Ronaldinho because he has a Contract Resetion Clause of 100 millions of Euros (it is the highest among the football players) that means if a club wants him and barcelona don´t want to sell him the other club has to pay the clause to release him from barcelona\n\nNow the best paid football player is Zinedine Zidane\n\nAnd the richest football player is David Beckham

He is the 4th best player in the world, so yeah he is a multi millionare.\n\nFederer, Nadal, Lubicic, Roddick, Nalbandian, etc are all rich.  \n\nwww.atptennis.com\n\nYou can see their earnings on the above site.  This does not include appearance fees or coporate sponsor fees like nike, etc.
