The list of the highest paid footballers at the moment has been published by Forbes.

Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Miami superstar, Lionel Messi, led the list.

Despite that Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are in the last days of their careers, they still enjoy superb financial benefits from the round-leather game.

Both players are widely regarded as the two greatest footballers in the history of the game.

Ronaldo is at the top of Forbes latest list, earning a whopping $285m per year.

The 39-year-old earns $220m per-year in wages from Al-Nassr, while the rest comes from sponsorship.

Messi, on the other hand, is the only MLS player in the top-ten list.

The Argentinean earns $135m in total, out of which $60m is from wages and $75m is earned from off-field sponsorships.

The list is heavily dominated by players in the Saudi Arabian league.
