2014 SI Fortunate 50

Here are the top 10 of the Sports Illustrated Magazine's fortunate 50 list for the year 2014. This is the 11th year that the list has been published. As with all Fortunate 50 lists, it only includes athletes from the USA or those playing in a US-based league, sorted by total earnings (salary, winnings, endorsements and appearance fees).



Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on the top of the list as has been for the last two years. Basketballers LeBron and Bryant jumped up the list to take 2nd and 3rd places on the list compared to the previous year.
