2. Marc Marquez ($10 million)
Marc Marquez has achieved a lot of success in the racing world at a very young age. He set the world record of youngest MotoGP World Champion when he was yet to be 21 years old in 2012.
Then, the Spaniard clinched the title again for the following two years before the contender team, Yamaha, knocked him off the leading two spots.
He is considered to be lucky to start his MotoGP career with a huge team such Repsol Honda straightaway. But to be fair, he showed a remarkable result in a short period of time in both 125 cc and Moto2 class.
In the earlier year, Repsol Honda paid him $4 million a year. Now, the number has gone way up to $10 million. This puts him as the second highest-paid MotoGP rider.
