How Long Would It Take To Earn A Top Footballer’s Salary?

Recommended Posts

And to think the likes of Stanley Matthews used to have other jobs and turn up on the bus!

 

It's amazing to see how much football has changed. Big grounds, money, teams coming in on blacked out coaches - I bet they never thought it would be as big as it now when they first started the game. When it was a working class game.

You'd have to have started your job during the Crusades to earn one year of Ronaldo's wages.

How good would it be to be Bill Gates and do this?

 

"Cristiano Ronaldo earns 18.2 million a year, it would take him 500 years to earn your salary"

Ronaldo earns a million in less than 10 hours  :blink:

 

Not sure where you got that from, 18.3m euros a year is 1m euros every 20 days, roughly.

 

Still shedloads, though. :blink:

I am currently a full time mature student at university, so based it on my last job which was an apprenticeship where I was getting £5000 a year. Based on this it would take me 3700 years and I'd have to have started in around the year 1685 BC.  :|

545 minutes to earn a million, thats about 9 hours.

I put a million in and I didn't realise it was weekly  :doh:

My last one was based on Ronaldo's wages. This one is based on Messi's.

"On your current salary, it would take you 4229 years to earn Lionel Messi's annual wage. If you had started in the year 2214 BC you'd almost be finished".

Good to know!  :nigel:

Do they get paid more? 

 

(MLB) Baseball players earn the highest salaries in the World by a mile.

 

They have about the top ten positions in American Sport in terms of salary - Kershaw is the highest paid per week - just short of $600,000 a week.

Although Floyd Mayweather clearly earns the most money of any sportsman on the planet.
