For those of you whose parents didn’t sign the permission slip to play sports when you were little, now’s your chance to throw a serious tantrum and curse them out, because Forbes released their annual list of the highest-paid athletes in the world and, my fucking goodness, these dudes make bank.
And as if you couldn’t hate the near-perfect life that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo lives, the guy tops the list with absurd earnings of $88 million last year. Here’s the entire top-10:
The luxurious life of CR7 might be hard enough for you soccer haters to swallow, but Lionel Messi lands second on Forbes’ list after taking in $81.4 million last year, so it’s clear that if you can kick a ball well, you can, potentially, become a multi-millionaire.
So if you’re like me and you missed out on the opportunity to play sports for a living and now have to live vicariously through these athletes, go take a swig of the finest whisky and drown in your sorrows, because some guys just have all the luck.
