10. Andy Murray<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $23 million<\/p>\n

Heading into the Rio Games, Andy Murray had to be feeling good. Not only is he the No. 2 player in the world, he also recently won the second Wimbledon of his career. On top<\/span><\/span> of that, he earned $23 million<\/a> last year, including $8 million in prize money<\/span><\/span> and $15 million from endorsements. After a fantastic showing in Rio, we\u2019d say he\u2019s about to cash in \u2014 big time.<\/p>\n

With his\u00a07-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Argentina\u2019s\u00a0Juan Martin del Potro, Murray become the first tennis player<\/span><\/span> in Olympic history to win two gold medals in singles play<\/a>. Guess we forgot to mention that he also took home gold at the London Games in 2012.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Kyrie Irving<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $27.6 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After solidifying his place as one of the top point guards in the NBA thanks a recent standout performance<\/span><\/span> in the NBA Finals, Kyrie Irving comes into Rio at the top of his game \u2014 both professionally and financially.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Just last year, Irving took home<\/span><\/span> $11 million from endorsements and earned another $16.6 million in salary for a total of 27.6 mil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a08. SERENA WILLIAMS<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $28.9 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Serena Williams may have stumbled in her quest for gold in Rio, but that\u2019s hardly a reason to feel bad for her. The best female tennis player<\/span><\/span> on the planet is doing fine \u2014 better than fine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Williams\u2019 recent victory at Wimbledon was the 22nd Grand Slam<\/span><\/span> of her career, she made $8.9 million in prize money last year, and she generated $20 million in endorsement money, courtesy of relationships with brands such as Nike, Chase, Wilson, and Beats. $28.9 million in total earnings<\/a> \u2014 yeah, we\u2019d take it.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h2>\n
\n

7. Carmelo Anthony<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $30.9 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Carmelo Anthony may never win an NBA title<\/span><\/span>, but as he goes for his third career gold medal<\/a>, he still feels good about what he\u2019s been able to accomplish. And\u00a0after learning what he made last year, we can\u2019t blame him.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Melo earned $8 million in endorsements and got $22.9 million from the New York Knicks in salary money<\/a>. With just under $31 million in total earnings, it pays to be Carmelo Anthony<\/p>\n

\n

6. Usain Bolt<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $32.5 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

For the third consecutive Olympics, Usain Bolt took home<\/span><\/span>gold in the 100-meter dash<\/a>,\u00a0retaining his title as the world\u2019s fastest<\/span><\/span> man. And while the bragging rights that come with this honor are great, the financial perks are a little bit better.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If you think the $2.5 million Bolt earned in prize money and fees is nice, it pales in comparison to the loot he pulls in from endorsements \u2014 roughly $30 million per year<\/a>. Makes you wish you were just a hair faster, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

5. Kei Nishikori<\/h2>\n

(\u05d4\u05d8\u05e0\u05d9\u05e1\u05d0\u05d9 \u05d4\u05d9\u05e4\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $33.5 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Although the $3.5 million in prize money that Kei Nishikori made last year is hardly anything to sneeze about, we are easily more blown away by the amount of dough he generates from endorsements. It\u2019s pretty staggering.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Thanks to deals with brands like Uniqlo<\/a>,\u00a0Nishikori made $30 million in endorsement money last year. Considering he just took home<\/span><\/span> the bronze medal in Rio, we think that number is only going to get higher<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

4. \u00a0Rafael Nadal<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $36.5 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Injuries have hindered Rafael Nadal\u2019s chances at winning more tournaments, thus hurting his prize money haul, but the same cannot be said for his overall popularity. Nadal is one of the most recognizable sports figures in the world; something his endorsement money clearly reflects.<\/p>\n

Just last year, the Spanish superstar took home<\/span><\/span> $31 million in sponsorship money, giving him $36.5 million in total earnings<\/a>. Even if he\u2019s never able to regain his dominance on the court, something tells us Rafa will be just fine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

3. \u00a0Neymar<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $37.5 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Considering he is one of the highest-paid soccer players<\/a> in the world, it\u2019s hardly a surprise to see Neymar on this particular list. Just last year, the Brazilian standout earned $23 million in endorsement money from companies like Nike, Red Bull, and Gillette while also pulling in $14.5 million from his salary with Barcelona. All that\u2019s left to do now is help Brazil win gold<\/span><\/span> in Rio. We\u2019ll know soon enough if he can make that a reality<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

2. Novak Djokovic<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $55.8 million<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Despite losing in his first-round match in Rio, easily one of the biggest upsets of the Games<\/a>, Novak Djokovic is still among the most dominant athletes on the planet<\/span><\/span>. And his financial situation a perfection representation of that.Last year, the World No. 1 made $21.8 million in prize money and earned $34 million in endorsements, making him the second highest-paid Summer Olympian with $55.8 million in total earnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Kevin Durant<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Total earnings: $56.2 million<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant\u2019s decision to join the Golden State Warriors may have been met with negativity, but\u00a0sometimes, even the great ones are forced to endure such hardships. Fortunately for KD, he simply needs to look at his bank<\/span><\/span> statement\u00a0if he ever finds himself feeling down.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Durantula earned $20.2 million in salary money<\/span><\/span> last year while also taking home $36 million from endorsements. With a total haul of $56.2 million<\/a>, Durant is the highest-paid athlete at the Rio Olympics.
