| Ten years ago athletes in individual sports dominated our list of the highest-paid athletes. Today a golfer (Tiger Woods) and a race car driver (Michael Schumacher) occupy the top two spots, but only one boxer (Oscar De La Hoya) and one tennis player (Andre Agassi) made the cut. In total, only 25% of this year's athletes participate in individual sports. The salary explosion in team sports means that basketball (14 entries) and baseball (13 entries) players now dominate the list. Overall, the 50 highest earners pulled in a combined $1.1 billion, 40% of which came from endorsements. The minimum to make the list was $15 million versus less than $5 million in 1994.
