NEW YORK - Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo remained atop Forbes magazine's list of the 100 highest-paid athletes, with Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James moving up to second on a list heavy on NBA players.
The 32-year-old Portugal forward is estimated to have earned a total of $93 million between his soccer salary of $58 million and $35 million in endorsement income.
It's the second straight year Ronaldo has topped the list, released on Wednesday just days after he spearheaded a 4-1 victory over Juventus that made Real Madrid the first team to retain the UEFA Champions League title.
