Kobe Bryant: $49.5 Million – Basketball
Guess he can keep biting his shirts because he can certainly afford to replace them, along with the red Ferrari. For 5 years now Kobe has enjoyed the highest salary in the NBA, earning $23.5 million for 2014-15. Having been playing less due to injuries, the 17-time All-Star has his mind on his own businesses recently. Kobe Inc. was set up in 2013 and invested in sports drink maker, BodyArmor where Kobe will sit on the board and oversee marketing and branding for the product.
