Roger Federer named highest-paid athlete with $106M income

May 29 (UPI) -- Roger Federer became the first tennis player in the history to land the top spot in Forbes' annual rankings of the world's highest-paid athletes after he earned $106.3 million from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion earned about $100 million from endorsements and appearance fees from 13 partners. The Swiss tennis star made $6.3 million on the tennis court.

Federer, 38, jumped into the top spot as many other athletes had their salaries slashed due to season suspensions from the coronavirus pandemic. Rival soccer stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are usually at the top of the list. Messi was No. 1 with $127 million in income in 2019. Ronaldo was No. 2 in 2019 with $109 million in income.

Federer ranked No. 5 on last year's list. Boxer Floyd Mayweather topped the list in 2018 with $285 million in income. Mayweather also topped the list in 2015 ($300M), 2014 ($105M) and 2012 ($85M).

Forbes included all prize money, bonuses, salaries and endorsements in compiling the list. Forbes also reduced NBA salary numbers by 25 percent, slashed soccer star salaries by 70 percent and gave veteran MLB players $286,500 for April and May, based on estimates and league agreements of salary reductions.

The 2020 list includes 35 basketball players, 31 football players, 14 soccer players, six soccer players, five boxers/mixed martial arts athletes, four golfers, three race car drivers, a baseball player and a cricket player.

Ronaldo, 35, ranks No. 2 with $105 million in earnings. The Juventus star made $60 million in salary/winnings and $45 million from endorsements. Messi, 32, ranks No. 3 with $104 million in income. He made $40 million more in salary/winnings than he did in endorsements.

Paris Saint Germain soccer star Neymar is No. 4, followed by LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Tiger Woods, Kirk Cousins and Carson Wentz. James was the highest-paid NBA star at $88.2 million. Woods had a $62.3 million income. Cousins was the highest-paid NFL player with $58 million in salary from the Minnesota Vikings and $2.5 million in endorsements.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka is the highest-paid female athlete on the list. Osaka, 22, had an income of $37.4 million and was the youngest athlete in the top 35. Two women are on the list for the first time since 2016, with Serena Williams ranked No. 33.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw is the only MLB player on the list, due to the salary adjustments. Kershaw landed at No. 57 with an income of $27.3 million.

Business Software Must Get Out Of The Way Of Digital Transformation

The data contained in your business system has always been a precious asset. We’re now in a time when changes in the way business is conducted mean that this data must be combined with other sources to make it more useful — driving new insights, automating transactions and creating net new business models. In short, we have the buzzword that launched a thousand worries: digital transformation. I work with many organizations leading the charge toward digital transformation and note that each of their business models relies heavily not just on their own proprietary data held in their system of record, but also data from third-party sources, connected devices and their vendors’ and customers’ systems. For example, startup Understory is combining data from the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to create new intelligence offerings for critical sectors in sectors including insurance and government.

How to Get Your Money to Those Who Need It More Than You

As unemployment claims pass 40 million and the anxious people who file them grow more desperate, an altruistic instinct has emerged among those who are more financially secure.

So what is the very best way for people with more money than they need to quickly hand it over to those in need, so they can use it for food, shelter and other necessities? It isn’t easy to find a satisfying answer. Sites and services like GoFundMe can connect donors with real people, but they may lack vetting of recipients, their back stories or their plans. They also may not make it possible to be identified or anonymous, depending on your preference as a giver or a beneficiary. Donors with large amounts to give may want to use tax deductions to increase what they can afford to donate, but may not be able to get them through one-off cash transfers. T...
