Athlete Incomes 2015: Earnings by the Second

The sports industry has exploded in the last decade. Last year, the 5 major sports leagues brought in over $29,400,000,000 ($29.4 billion) and looking forward to this year, that hasn't slowed down a bit!

Just as we did last year, we broke down the Top 3 players in each major sport by how much money they get to take home this year! A few players from last year were knocked off the list thanks to new and beefed up contracts. This was especially true in the NFL and MLB.

We put together each athlete's endorsement money along with their cash earnings for the year! Take a look below and find out how much money these stars make per second.
