See if your favorite athlete and team made the list and at what rank. My team didnt make the top 10. The SportsMoney 50-50 ranks the world’s most valuable teams and athletes. The SportsMoney 50-50 includes teams from five sports: baseball (with 5 teams rich enough to make the cut), basketball (2 teams), football (all 32 NFL teams – credit national TV deals worth $4 billion annually), motorsports (2 teams) and soccer (9 teams). For the athletes we factored in salaries, bonuses, prize money, endorsements, appearance fees and licensing income earned over the past 12 months. Athletes from nine sports made the cut, with NBA players making up 30 percent of the list. Americans dominate, but there are 16 different nationalities represented.
