      <title>No women among world’s top 100 highest-paid athletes</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402600/no-women-among-worlds-top-100-highest-paid-athletes</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zero women cracked the list of the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes released on Wednesday by Sportico.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US tennis star Coco Gauff was the top-earning female athlete in 2024 with $30.4 million, but that was more than $7 million short of the minimum $37.5 million cutoff to make the top 100.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo sits atop the global rankings for the second straight year with $260 million in earnings, including $215 million from his Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr and $45 million off the field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is a distant second at $153.8 million, with boxer Tyson Fury ($147 million), Inter Miami soccer great Lionel Messi ($135 million) and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James ($133.2 million) rounding out the top five.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The $100 million club also includes boxer Oleksandr Usyk, soccer players Neymar, Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe, golfers Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler, and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NFL quarterback Daniel Jones, who played for the New York Giants and later signed with the Minnesota Vikings last season, was No. 100 at $37.5 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, the top 100 raked in $6.2 billion – a 14 percent increase from last year. Athletes from eight sports and 27 countries made the list.&lt;/p&gt;
