In 2016, the list of the richest athletes who came to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro was dominated by basketball and tennis, thanks to the decision of some wealthy athletes, including basketball player LeBron James to refrain from participating in competitions.

It looks like this top 10 richest athletes in the Rio Olympics according to Forbes.

  • 10. Paul George, basketball player
  • 9. Kairi Irving, basketball player

10. Paul George, basketball player

  • Total revenue: $ 24.1 million.

In 2014, the Indiana Pacers team forward suffered a serious leg injury. However, already in the 2015/16 season, he regained his best form and is now ready to compete for the title of Olympic champion.

9. Kairi Irving, basketball player

  • Total revenue: $ 27.6 million.
  • Advertising Revenue: $ 11 Million

This year, Irving will make his debut at the Olympics, and in 2014, together with his team, he won gold at the World Championships. The basketball player signed a contract with Nike for $ 5 million and still receives income from the sale of personalized shoes.

8. Serena Williams, tennis player

  • Total revenue: $ 28.9 million.
  • Advertising revenue: $ 20 million.

The only lady in the ranking of the richest Olympians in 2016. In 2015, she won three Grand Slam tournaments. In London in 2012, Williams won gold in the women's singles and doubles, and previously won gold in both Beijing and Sydney.

7. Carmelo Anthony, basketball player

  • Total revenue: $ 30.9 million.
  • Advertising Revenue: $ 8 Million

He received gold medals twice: once for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and another for the 2012 London Olympics. If he wins gold in Rio, he will become the first three-time Olympic champion in the history of American basketball. Anthony's sponsors include such giants as Nike, Draft Kings and Jordan Brand.

6. Usain Bolt, Sprinter

  • Total revenue: $ 32.5 million.
  • Advertising revenue: $ 30 million.

The fastest man in the world returned to the Rio 2016 Olympics. He has won many gold medals, in particular, for the 100 meters at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

This year the Olympics will be the last for Bolt and he intends to win three gold medals: for one hundred, two hundred meters and for the 4x100 relay.

5. Kay Nishikori, tennis player

  • Total revenue: $ 33.5 million.

The first Asian tennis player to qualify for the Grand Slam final in 2014. For this, Japan adores its hero, and thanks to the efforts of the IMG agency, whose client is Nishikori, the athlete has entered into lucrative contracts with a number of brands, including Jaguar, Adidas, Uniqlo, Procter & Gamble and others. The tennis player has already won two matches at the Olympics.

4. Neymar, soccer player

  • Total revenue: $ 37.5 million.

  • Advertising Revenue: $ 32 Million

For the Spanish athlete, 2015 was a bad year. He was the first to fail to win a single Grand Slam tournament since 2004.

2. Novak Djokovic, tennis player

  • Total revenue: $ 55.8 million.
  • Advertising Revenue: $ 34 Million
