From the picture above, the op is talking about Nigerians.

Habah. definitely footballers n'a. The only people that might be an argument. would be Hollywood actors. but I still footballer would make more than them. But Hollywood actors make more than musicians. its in Nigeria that it is different.

PROVERBZ:
am pretty sure drake would earn 4 times that in a day by just hosting a concert

Drake might stay for complete one month without any show.

heryurh:
And Why TFvck is this a topic for Discussion?!

Na person wey no get work go dey discuss other people Success

Know Your Fvckin' Path & All these wouldn't be your business

This is "Nairaland" sir. Here, you will find the biggest collection of unemployed and unemployable young Nigerians. Most other people visit for our daily dose of fun served by their idleness and tomfoolery. Wait for their reactions

PROVERBZ:
am pretty sure drake would earn 4 times that in a day by just hosting a concert

Hw many days in a year does he have the oppotunity to host such a concert

Besides lets not forget that football players earn money from bonuses, national allowances and salary

The only problem nw z d span of thier career

Decale:


Lol. A Chevrolet Camaro? Something that's not up to $35000.

Do you know a a Toyota Avalon is more expensive than a camaro?

That's part of the deals sir

Musicians are mostly the highest earning individuals. go check the recent forbes highest earners of the year

humbleself242:
Musician want die,who them be?

Musicians joor. Why must you compare A-list footballers with B-list musicians? Compare the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham with Diddy with around $700million,Cher,Elton John,Bono $1bilion dollars in 2015,Dr Dre with 700 million dollar plus networth, Madonna,Justin Bieber,Miley Cyrus.  Compare B-list footballers also with the likes of Luda,Chris Brown,TI,Nelly,Drake,Rick Ross. Compare C-list footballers with the likes of French Montana,Wiz Khalifa,Meek Mill etc

Footballers

PROVERBZ:

can he host 4 concerts in 2 weeks?

PROVERBZ:

How many of this concerts can he hold in a year?

DatBossAssChick:

From the picture above, the op is talking about Nigerians.

And I'm using the world in general as case study and Forbes as reference

encryptjay:

That's part of the deals sir

My point is an average American can afford a camaro so it's not a big deal if it's a remuneration for footballers

ogtavia:
please quote the law of averages..up in here sounding like einstein.. law of averages...

Why don't you google it yourself and I hope you have common sense to know I'm not talking of the ‛law‛ literally

But both footballers and artist no get money reach Top Nigerian politicians

kemelyt:
In 9ja I'ld say musicians are making more money than footballers but in Europe it is the footballers that make more oh.

Bros, you just mentioned the top earning footballer in the world.

If you put Ronaldo in a list with the top earning musicians in the world, he'd fall back
Forbes already listed the top earning celebrities in the world, both footballers and musicians. Guess where Ronaldo is? 5th.

You know the highest paid celebrity? Taylor Swift, an artiste

So in your terms, musicians earn higher than footballers

forgive me, but how can Taylor Swift be the richest at 200million when Floyd Mayweather's net worth is 400 million?

Well it all depends on so many factors. While is noteworthy to say that life span of a footballer is not more than 20 yrs of active playing, that of musicians last forever.For example Beyonce and Jay-Z made over $120m last year in income, even Michael Jackson has made over a $1b in royalties since his death.
So if I were to make a choice, I would rather be a musician than be a footballer.

How many times I call you??
How can you compare Footballers with Musicians??

Even US musicians don't stand a chance.

You should be comparing Footballers with Money Ritualists
You deserve an E-Punch/Blow worth 100kg

Musicians are way richer. Why must you compare A-list footballers with B-list musicians? Compare the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham with Diddy with around $700million,Cher,Elton John,Bono $1bilion dollars in 2015,Dr Dre with 700 million dollar plus networth, Madonna,Justin Bieber,Miley Cyrus.  Compare B-list footballers also with the likes of Luda,Chris Brown,TI,Nelly,Drake,Rick Ross.

No footballer is worth up to 600million dollars but many musicians are worth more

Lol
The topic says top earning not net worth

Even if you use net worth, we already have billionaire musicians already and the only sportsman close to a billion is a retired basketball player

Sunofgod:
In the short term footballers.....but long term its musicians due to perpetual royalties!

- Michael Jackson is still getting paid, so is 2Pac and Biggie.

- Sunday Oliseh is harassing the NFF over the equivalent of $2459!

^^ Right there, my answer.

dopeJemi:
Rooney earns 300k pounds a week, name one musician that earns that in a month and you have your answer

lil wayne makes $1M per show, not to talk of tours, lil weezyana festivals, royalties and monies from drake and nicki minaj
even after the prime of his career, the mofo still gets paid,

dopeJemi:


Buahahahahahahahahaha

That's a fat lie, now let's assume it's true, will drake host concerts everyday? Go check his net worth

Ronaldo is currently earning about 500k pounds a week, that is 1M pounds in two weeks, 2M pounds in a month, now do the math for a year, Ronaldo uses 1 to 2 weeks to get what drake gets from his shows and album sales

In nigeria Skales got record deal of 500m
Yung6ix got deal of 100m
Plus shows a table of 5 1m in Eko hotel etc
Why here in nigeria the highest signed futbala got 500k

hinohsend:
The richest celeb in the world is a musician,but the average footballer is richer than the average musician.

What an ignorant question, a kindergarten knows that footballers earn higher, than Musicians. Footballers earn weekly.
