How can you say this?! When Suarez was in Liverpool his contract alone was $75million. And then Barcelona paid €75million for him, which he has a cut in, and his wages in Barcelona is X2 of what he was earning in Barcelona and you're saying Drake is richer

argue with Forbes pls and stop arguing with me

Suarez - $23.8m
Drake - $38.5m

you don't know better than Forbes

tennyson10:


Did you just say donjazzy is worth $35million Please let's be factual and stop overhyping these guys

you are the one living in lala land refusing to see the fact

http://www.the-net-worth.com/2015/08/don-jazzy/

Don jazzy is worth more than Mikel and that's being factual

stop over hyping football just because you love the game

Tobium1:


A concert is a day or maybe 2days and he gets 300k and he might not host a concert of such again till maybe de next year, but here Is rooney making dat evry week, bros EVERY week!

every week is shacking this one. . Pls be useful to yourself and just browse this thing out and stop arguing like a mad man
any informed human being knows musicians make more money, not shouting every week when Musicians earn money every day

Akexstinger:
Too many kids in here..and they are so lazy to even research. The words earning and net worth do not mean the same.
In all spheres, Musicians earn better than footballers, also the net worth of musicians are far higher than the net worth of footballers.
The Internet is at your finger tips, stop exposing your ignorance before the world. The forbe list is there for everyone to visit and convince himself.
You must not juxtapose rubbish/nonsense just because you want to make a point. Imagine somebody bringing in sport vs music, basketballers vs Musicians when the topic says footballers vs musicians.
A learned person should start his argument by mentioning factors first such as the platform for their activities such as where they perform "international or locally", earnings per year, mode of earning, the duration of their earnings and their networth.
Musicians earn higher and by far than footballers

and this got only one like?!

Nigerians are truly a dumb bunch. ..if something as simple as surfing the net to get information about this is such a huge task then it's finished

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

forbes dont rate according to earning, it according to their worth(I.e asset)

Dude shut the fnck up and stop acting like a misled sheep, if google tells you Michael Jackson died yesterday, you will come here and tell us he died yesterday and still ask us to check google or surf the net, now tell me who the dumb one is here?

No musician, I repeat, no musician earns billions through music alone, the first recognized rapper to reach a billion dollars is Dr Dre and he didn't earn that through his music, royalties or whatever bullshit y'all say, he earned it through a fucking business deal, but i'm sure you didn't know that because you are one of those who just read and don't comprehend, the jayZ and Pdiddy y'all are shouting are big business men, still you didn't know that, Fans make musicians rich, their success when it comes to their profession is determined not entirely but mainly by fans

Taylor swift earned 300m dollars last year and tops the forbes list, there's every possibility she won't earn such amount this year or next, depends on how we respond to her music, ronaldo can decide to earn higher than the 500k pounds a week he earns at Madrid by just making a switch to a Chinese club and boom, he's raking home 800k pounds every fncking week, follow football and hear the amounts of money being bandied about and you'll ask yourself if it's money ritual


Now, if we look at who earns more in terms of their profession ALONE which is doing music and playing football, footballers earn more cause their wages are fixed, they get it every fucking sec, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and up up it goes



Messi and Ronaldo will be bought for the amount taylor swift earned last year, Yes, you heard that right, a certain Paul pogba is being priced for 120M Pounds not dollars, don't just see everything the Internet tells you as Gospel, go deep

Dope jam!!! Yall should go download Dis amazing Song!! by M klassic. Dis track is awesomely sick yall. Check it out @ www.mynotjustok.com/track/110545/m-klassic-32 pls share with freinds.

Ofcourse footballers make massively more.

USA Where's Floyd Mayweather

this is not their total networth, I think it's their anual income for that year

Is like comparing an ant to an elephant. What c.ronaldo earns in a month,jay-z can't earn in a year. The labels,advert fee,club signing,and transfer contract says it all. What mikel earns in a month,olamide can't earn in 6 months. Musicians sells when fans are their.

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

the concert is it an everyday thing? No might be once in 3months self

Micheal Jordan is a basketball legend, yet Andrew Lloyd Webber is worth more than him

talking about Nigeria - Don jazzy's $35m greater than Mikel Obi's $25m

the problem with the lot of you Nigerians is that you are sentimental, because you love football doesn't mean it's the greatest thing on the planet

don jazzy 35mill dollars,lol who dash monkey banana.And no Nigerian musician is richer than mikel

ultimateballer:

Lol... Music has produced several billionaires.. Dr Dre is a billionaire.. You can compare local artists with local footballers in Nigeria not international

Dr dre is not a billionaire,say what you know

Common football? The money wey football get, blood money sef no fit match am

Guy.... Music rules!!!

macof:


it's not about what you think, but what the facts say

the top musicians earn far more than the top footballers. P Diddy's worth is more than x2 of Ronaldo's at $700m to $300m

stop comparing apples and orange.The bulk of pdiddy money didn't come from music,same with jayz and Dr dre.
These are businessmen

DifferentBoy1:


Talking about cars or private jets, Lil Wayne pass Ronaldo.... go check Lil Wayne's cars.
Not up to a month now, there was an assassination attempt on Lil Wayne's life and eversince, he got around with his private jets even if it's a stone throw.

lil Wayne is worth 150mill dolls and Rinaldo is worth almost twice that amount.So what is your point?

I can only feel sentiments flying round and no deep thinking or research. Says a lot about this generation.
Nigerians hear 500k weekly and have their pants in a wand......ask how much they actually take home. How much is on your appointment slip and how much is your take home? Are they the same thing or are you not going to pay tax and pension and whatever levy they hit you with.
The truth is top musicians make more money than top footballers. The average musician make more money than the average footballer. That is why there are more musicians in richest celebrities than footballers and that's common sense. Endorsement forms part of the earnings of both and royalties. Heard someone idiot talking about a footballer with a broken leg earning money continuously like the have a lifetime contract. The money stops when the football stops. Micheal Jackson thriller had a platinum 10 years after it was released.
Football is in phases. I've heard of a Thierry Henry at a time.....,his total net worth right now is around 60 million dollars. Jay Z and P Diddy has been there for decades.

ultimateballer:

There is yet to be any billonaire footballer, infact the richest footballer ever beckham is not worth up to 300 million dollars but we have several billionaira musicians. Go figure. No footballer ever is richer than Jay Z, Diddy, Dr. Dre, etc

Beckham is worth 350mill dollars and how many billionaire musicians do we have,care to list them?

Decale:



Both sweat their ass off even more footballers.
Footballers play an average of 45 - 50 games in 9 months, go for national competitions and club friendlies. They also work out every week, miss holidays and go through body conditioning in order to keep fit

Musicians do less to earn more. Ask fat musicians like Rick Ross, Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, etc. They may only release 5 - 10 songs a year and still make money than an average footballer. They get paid by sitting down and watching people stream their songs and videos. What of soundtracks, game songs, royalties, chips off shares, etc. Dem yapa.

Kanye just ventured into football, signed his own deal with Nike. Doesn't that tell you how successful musicians can be even if they diverse into the so called sport? Musicians are even paid to perform in opening ceremonies of football competitions, even the official theme song, etc.

Do you know any footballer that's worth $1bn? No, but I can give you 3 or more musicians from heart.
The highest earning tour was by U2 where they made $800m+ in a year. Footballers don see that kind money

Please, accept your loss and don't argue blindly

List three musicians that are worth a billion dollars or do you think you are talking to kids here?

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

taylor swift was d richest celebrity on Forbe's 2015 List. D richest footballer Ronaldo came 6th. Don't mind him. Drake attends 2 to 3 shows in a week he charges half a million for a show. How much is that in a month? Don't mind those niggas giving him likes they know nothing about musicians

STILESGANG:

P.diddy. Mc Paul Carthy, Dr Dre. Madonna.

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

don't let d likes giving by ignorant people deceive u.. See taylor swift, one direction. Earned morethan any celebrity in d the year 2015 check Forbe's richest calebs. Ronaldo made 7 to 6th position. If u call david beckham, he has never earned Billions. But d whole word know Dr Dre made Billions by selling Just Dre Beats. See eminem one show he will recover whatever rooney earned dat week.. We got billioniar musicians dude. See P diddy. Madonna. Mc paul carthy. N host of awards musicians receives in just one year. Can u imagine what A grammy award can earn u?

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

drake attends minimum of two shows in a week. Do u know how much he charges for a show? Half a million for a show. But am not comparing drake to Ronaldo though. But hey we got rich musicians we all admire footballers so true, don't let ur admiration blind u off d truth

mekanaky:
No go that area. there's no comparison, even tu baba himself confirmed it "no be everybody sabi play ball"

we all know tu baba like hidding his wealths. He is richer than mikel. Stop deceiving urself. So u think nigerian footballers r richer dan d likes of tuface, d, banj, davido. Wizkid, olamide, r tiwa savage? Don jazzy, e.money. R u for real?

You deserve an E-Punch/Blow worth 100kg

abeg shut up, shut big shut up, even taylor swift earned morethan Ronaldo last year go google it. Check it, we all love footballers morethan musicians but truth must be said. If u wanna counter me. Provide proof.. How much does Ronaldo makes a year? 81 million dollars. 70 euros go check howmuch jaz makes a year 500million dalloars. Dr dre 700 million dollars. P didy over 900 million dollars abeg just shut up.

and him forget say footballers has to show their worth on everygame. Unlike musicians 1albulm a year can make u damn rich. Ask him howmany years Ronaldo worked hard to earn such. N ask him how far taylour swift worked to earn such. Him go lost. No mind, dem d talk like say dem sabi footballers pass us.
