#4 LeBron James - $440 million
In the 2015-16 NBA season, LeBron James earned a grand total of nearly $85 million in terms of wages and endorsements combined. Much of his earnings come from the royalties he earns off the Nike LeBron line of basketball sneakers, released in 2003 when The King was still a prospective Chosen One and before he'd set foot on an NBA court ever.

LeBron's off-court earnings don't start and end at endorsements alone.
