Who are the highest earning players in men’s and women’s football?

2. Cristiano Ronaldo (£49.2million) / Amandine Henry (£325,000) – Gap: £48.875million

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner and one of the greatest footballers of all-time, Cristiano Ronaldo is the current second-highest earner on the list. The superstar has enjoyed success at Manchester United, Real Madrid and now Juventus over the course of his prestigious career. Despite being 34-years-old, the Portugal captain seems in no hurry to slow down, scoring 21 goals in 31 appearances last season as he won the league title in a third different country.

France international Amandine Henry is a versatile, creative midfielder who is willing to work incredibly hard for her team, both offensively and defensively. She has spent the majority of her career playing for Lyon, where she has had two spells at the French side. Henry won the Silver Ball Award at the 2015 Women’s World Cup and also came second in the UEFA Best Women’s Best Player in Europe Award in the same year.
