10. Radamel Falcao (Monaco) - £11.5 million / 14M (ESPN)
£221,000 a week £31,600 a day £1320 an hour £23 a minute 38p a second With a net worth which Forbes believe to be approaching $10 billion, money is no object to Monaco's chairman Dmitry Rybolovlev who is one of the growing number of Russian business tycoons to have become involved in football. These deep pockets mean Rybolovlev has been able to attract some of the world's greatest players to Monaco. At the top end of the payroll is Radamel Falcao who had been making waves in La Liga for Atlético, scoring a ridiculous 70 goals in 91 games and being a huge part in their Cupa del Rey victory over Real Madrid. Falcao has a reputation as one of the world's most dangerous goal scorers, capable of striking the ball with both feet and being an incredible aerial threat despite his average height. Unfortunately, his first season at Monaco has been ruined by a serious knee injury which may also exclude him from the World Cup this summer.
