8. Zlatan Ibrahimovi (PSG) - £12.4 million / 15M (ESPN)
£238,460 a week £34,060 a day £1420 an hour £23.65 a minute 41p a second The always-vociferous Zlatan Ibrahimovi is a player who is known to shamelessly chase the pound coin. During his stint in Paris, Beckham's magnanimous decision to donate his entire salary to children's charities in the city inspired the following response from Zlatan:
Who is most deserving of all of the money that I am paid? The answer is Zlatan. The children of Paris are not leading Ligue 1 in goals this season. I am. I have 20 goals. The next best players have 12. Twelve! If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality.

Love him or hate him, only a fool could deny that Ibra is one of the world's best. At the numerous top European clubs he has played at, success has followed Zlatan and this cannot be disregarded as a coincidence. Though he's now 32 the prolific goal scorer has showed no sign of slowing down, notching 37 goals in his 36 appearances for PSG this season.
