Major League Soccer released its bi-annual breakdown of player salaries on Thursday, and while some may quibble with its accuracy, there’s still lots of interesting information to glean from the data. Mainly: How wildly unequal pay is in the league, among both players and teams.

MLS is one of the few leagues to actually make this kind of information public, which makes it almost impossible to compare it to other leagues, but that alone shouldn’t overshadow how large the gap is in MLS.

Team Breakdown

There’s $151,719,752 in total compensation money in MLS, so between the 22 teams that should equates to about $6.9 million per team. But as you can see from the pie chart below, the league is extremely top-heavy.

Three teams — Toronto FC, LA Galaxy, and New York City FC — account for more than $61 million, or 40 percent of the league’s total compensation. Add Orlando City FC and it means those four teams account for 48 percent of league spending, a slightly higher split than the last time the same data were released.

Player Breakdown

MLS is a league of have and have-nots among players, too, as you can see here.

The top 20 highest-paid players in the league account for $73,343,938, 48 percent of the league’s total compensation, while the top ten players in draw more than 38 percent of MLS’ total compensation.

Kaka, Sebastian Giovinco, Michael Bradley, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are the top five highest-paid players in the league (or the top 1 percent, if you prefer). Together they account for $32,915,556, 22 percent of the league’s total compensation.

MLS has caught some heat for the divide which led to the league raising the salary floor in 2015, from $36,500 to $60,000. Nevertheless, the league’s main lure to players is the promise of a lucrative playoff, often for the last time in their careers.

It’s essentially one giant stars-and-scrubs strategy, and whatever you may think of it, with an increasing number of players coming over to the U.S. and attendances up as a result, so far, it seems to be working.
