Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo remains the highest-paid sportsperson in the world, according to Forbes's annual list of the world's wealthiest athletes.

Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has retained the number one spot on the Forbes highest-paid athletes list.

The 32-year-old topped the influential business magazine's list for the first time 12 months ago.

Ronaldo is reckoned to have earned £71.7m between his Real salary and off-the-field endorsements - which include Nike, Tag Heuer, Herbalife and Abbott Labs - last year.

In addition, the Euro 2016 winner's line of CR7-branded products, which includes shoes, underwear, and fragrance as well as a line of hotels, add additional income.

Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, who was number two last year, was third on the list this time round, with calculated earnings of £61.7m.

Brazil international Neymar, Messi's teammate at Camp Nou, is the next footballer on the list at number 18, earning £28.5m.

Real Madrid and Wales winger Gareth Bale, meanwhile, remains the highest-earning British footballer, with his £26.3m putting him 24th.

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in 30th with £24.79m, is the highest-placed Premier League footballer.
