The Richest Athletes in the World

Pacquiao is one of the most successful boxers of all time. Outside of the ring, he owns various businesses in The Philippines and has served seven years as a Senator within his homeland. He was recently re-elected and will be in this role until at least 2022. Various sponsorships from companies such as Nike have been just as important as his boxing earnings. He participated in the richest fight in history, against Floyd Mayweather in 2015, and pocketed $80 million for this one fight alone. His net worth today is $190 million.
