Forbes released its world's highest-paid athletes list, which highlights the top 100 earners over the past year (June 2018 to June 2019).

- Biggest surprises: Kei Nishikori (No. 35) made $33 million in endorsements as the face of men's tennis in Japan ... Mesut Özil (57) barely even plays for Arsenal and came in a whopping 41 spots ahead of Mo Salah (98).
