Ronaldo has generated greater income through off-field endorsements, and sponsorship deals backed by his social media followers, which currently total 939m.

This is the fifth time Ronaldo has topped the list in his illustrious career.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry moved up to second on the list with an estimated earning of $156m (approx £117m).

British boxer Tyson Fury moved up to third with $146m (approx £109m) despite losing his world heavyweight titles to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in December.

Fury benefited largely from a Netflix reality television show and a partnership with Maltese tourism.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, nearing the end of his illustrious career, came in sixth with $133.8 million.
