9. Kairi Irving, basketball player

  • Total revenue: $ 27.6 million.
  • Advertising Revenue: $ 11 Million

This year, Irving will make his debut at the Olympics, and in 2014, together with his team, he won gold at the World Championships. The basketball player signed a contract with Nike for $ 5 million and still receives income from the sale of personalized shoes.

8. Serena Williams, tennis player

  • Total revenue: $ 28.9 million.
  • Advertising revenue: $ 20 million.

The only lady in the ranking of the richest Olympians in 2016. In 2015, she won three Grand Slam tournaments. In London in 2012, Williams won gold in the women's singles and doubles, and previously won gold in both Beijing and Sydney.

6. Usain Bolt, Sprinter

  • Total revenue: $ 32.5 million.
  • Advertising revenue: $ 30 million.

The fastest man in the world returned to the Rio 2016 Olympics. He has won many gold medals, in particular, for the 100 meters at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

5. Kay Nishikori, tennis player

  • Total revenue: $ 33.5 million.

The first Asian tennis player to qualify for the Grand Slam final in 2014.
