Maybe that's an obvious statement given the wages he would've been on at Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy but Adidas are the real reason for this entry.

Back in 2003, Beckham signed a $160 million lifetime contract with Adidas, earning nearly half the money upfront, and he will continue to earn percentages of profits on all of his branded products. The German sports brand even gave him his own logo.

He also had a 10 year collaboration with Pepsi that expired in 2009.
