4. Peyton Manning – $200 million
We mentioned Eli Manning earlier on this list, now it is time for his elder brother, Peyton Manning. Like father, like brother, Peyton Manning is also a quarterback. He started his football career with Indianapolis Colts in 1998. Then in 2012, he moved to Denver Broncos, which is paying him around $312,500 of salary per week.
With five NFL MVP titles, he is arguably the best player NFL has today. His total of 539 touchdowns is the current NFL record for most career touchdown. He also holds the most touchdowns in one season record with 55 touchdowns.
With such achievements, it should come as no surprise that he is one of the highest paid athletes in the world both on and off field. He is endorsed by several major brands such as Sony, Master Card, Nike, Gatorade, Papa John’s, and DirecTV.
Now, his net worth is estimated to be $200 million. Hadn’t he agreed to cut his salary to help the Broncos sign more players, it would have been more.
