About this Dataset

Forbes High Paid Athletes 1990-2021

Version 2 Update - Merged "Racing" and "Auto Racing" both into just "Racing" category, fixed a minor issue where one Basketball player had sport labeled as "Basketbal"

Since 1990 Forbes has tracked the highest-earning athletes in the world. For each year (except 2001 when they switched the time period for which the data was tallied), the magazine has listed between 40 or so and 100 athletes earning the most in salary and endorsements.

This data was compiled for quizzes on my site such as:
