Kevin Durant
Considering that basketball has around 1 billion followers, it’s suffice to say that it’s a wildly popular sport. Kevin Durant has been a star player since he was in high school, and given that he earned $57.3 million last year alone, his awards explain why. Not only has his team won two championships, but he has won a number of most valuable player awards as well. But a bunch of his money also comes from endorsements with Nike and Foot Locker.
