Madrid’s soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, at 26, landed in seventh place, taking $38 million.

Slipping in for her last year on the list, at 29, Beyoncé bounced down from first to eighth with a drop in income from $87 to $35 million.

Ninth was Barcelona’s major soccer player Lionel Messi, 23, who brought in $32 million.

Following close behind, tennis luminary Rafael Nadal took the tenth slot at 25 years old, making $31 million.
