David Beckham is the world's highest earning footballer earning around $32 million last year although this is mostly through sponsorship endorsements. His weekely salary is around £210,000 per week.\n\nJoseph S Blatter is 70 years old. Retirement beckons...we hope.

Micheal Essien is the most expensive, but that's because Chelsea overpaid for him.  Right now, the African player that is most valuable is Samuel Eto'o.  He has been the best striker in Spain for the last 2 years and is one of the reasons why Barcelona is arguably the best team in Europe.  Eto'o is also the best player that will not be going to the World Cup, because his Cameroon did not qualify.

It has to be Thierry Henry. He has been top scorer in the Permiership for the past 2 years, and looks like he's gonna make it 3 years in a row.

How wrong you are!!!!\n\nChelski are nowhere near the richest club in Europe! what a lot of people forget is that Abramovich has spent alot of money,but there's no way Chelski will ever get it back,he owns a lot of the players,not the club!!so if he leaves,they would be in big trouble!\n\nhere is a list of the top ten richest clubs in the world in order:\n\n1. Manchester Utd.\n2. Real Madrid.\n3. AC Milan.\n4. Arsenal.\n5. Bayern Munich.\n6.Juventus.\n7. Chelski.\n8. Inter Milan.\n9. Barcelona.\n10.Liverpool\n\nthis list is based on overall value of the club(players,stadium,etc.),the list can vary with overall income as well,and can also vary if you look up other criteria....\nfor example Chelski are 7th in value and 5th in current income.\n\nOn current income Real Madrid overtake Man U who slip into 2nd.\n\non operating income Chelski slip all the way to 17th in the world,with an operating income of  -11.3million dollars(someone has to pay all those ridiculous wages!)Man U stay 1st....interestingly the English club with the highest operating income after Man U. is Spurs,with 36.6million dollars!!

Ferdinand is the most expensive player, however i think that United have to pay Everton something after a certain amount of appearances so Rooney may be eventually

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.
