I was gonna opine not a bad place to be, buy that's a pretty ecclectic and somewhat strange list.

Only football player on it though. I'd have at least placed him in that top 50. Payrod is becoming more an infamous celeb even among Yankee fans. They'd trade him for a bucket of used balls most days had the balls been used to get clutch hits. Apparently the contract and leftover hype gets him in ahead of the NFL's golden boy who delivers more for less.

 

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

My computer froze up on the link-what number was Brady?

52

I'd have slotted him in the top half of the top half of that odd collection even though it's their celebrity Forbes is gauging and not their talent.

Obviously, as Beckham is nowhere near Ronaldinho (or even Brady at his particular sport) at this latter stage in his career.

Make gazillions of dollars, for one thing. Remember, this is a Forbes list, so earnings are a major criterion. (I believe the others are press mentions and web hits.) Notice that, say, Jerry Seinfeld ranks above Angelina Jolie. That's obviously ridiculous as a measure of current celebrity; it's the dollars that swing the balance.
