Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel happens to be a German racecar driver who suits up for Scuderia Ferrari. He has four Formula One championships under his belt, which he won consecutively from 2010 to 2013 while racing for Red Bull. No wonder he can boast of $42.3 million and an extension on his contract for another few years.

Derek Carr

Derek Carr has been playing football for a very long time, and earned his position as the quarterback of the Oakland Raiders. He made $42.1 million last year alone, and was asked to extend his contract until 2022. Apparently, it’s been said that his new deal is a ‘record breaker,’ which is why he’s made it on to this list.
