The top players earn enough money these days to not have to work when they retire.  The less well paid players will often go into management or the media and some will re-educate themselves towards the end of their career.

It's either Ronaldinho or Beckham. I believe it's around 9 million (Euros) a year what with their salary and the products they endorse.

NBA players have the highest average salary of all professional sports in the United States. As of last year, NBA players averaged $4.9 million. Coming in second are MLB players, who averaged $2.49 million. NHL players averaged $1.79 million in 2002-03, the latest season in which their union has figures available. And NFL players averaged $1.26 million last year. \n\nAs mentioned earlier, this is due to a combination of factors, including sport marketability, number of regular season games played (82 for NBA players, 16 for NFL players), and number of players on each roster (About 14 for NBA teams, versus 53 for NFL teams).

Of course they get paid, and trust me it is plenty plenty money. They also get bonuses or incentives. For instance I know the saudi arabian team will EACH get 150 000 euros if they qualify to the next round. Most teams get bonuses for scoring goals, not letting in goals, qualifying to further rounds, golden boot winner gets a packet of money. Money rules that tournament!

It depends.\n\nSome funds are used to support charitable causes.  The leagues given collective baragining agreement defines some of this.\n\nLeagues do try to avoid the perception that they are fining players to generate revenue or exectuve bonuses.

No comparison, Ronaldo has been more effective, just take a look back for his career. For which player do you think companies like Nike would pay for? Definitely Ronaldo over Adriano.

The NHL and NFL are the only two sports that have  a "salary cap."  Teams are not allowed to spend more than $xx million dollars on their player salaries in a given year.  NFL is around 95 million and NHL is around 36 million this year.\n\nMLB and NBA have "soft caps."  There is a cap, but teams are allowed to spend over the amount.  They will just owe a lot of money in taxes.  NBA also has exemptions to help teams resign their own players and exceed the cap without penalty.\n\nI don't believe soccer, at any international level, has a salary cap.

Soccer for sure. There is no other game like it in the world. You need so much skill in soccer compared to basketball and throwing a ball up in the air and hoping it goes in. You need endurance, finess, and the right state of mind to play soccer.

Basketball is in fact popular in South America. It is generally played more in the countries of Brazil and Argentina (the two places were most South American NBA players come from). However basketball is a minor in comparison to soccer which is a passion by excellence that all South Americans have.

Ronaldo, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Totti (AS ROMA), Owen, Lampard and others follow David Beckham in the list.\nFor the france football magazine Ronaldinho is the best paid with E 23 millons based on salary, advertising incomes and other incomes.
