A global journey…
Real Madrid's david beckham is the best paid soccer player in the world with $25 million (£17.01 million) a year. Real Madrid team mates Ronaldo, who earns 19.6 million euros a year, and Zinedine Zidane, on $13 million. The three each have salaries of $6.4 million and collect $200,000 a year in bonuses.
But the 30-year-old Beckham earns an additional $18.4 million in advertising contracts, with Ronaldo receiving $13 million for his commercial deals and Zidane earning $6.4 million for his.
Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri is fourth in the standings, earning 12 million euros a year, followed by Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero on $9.5 million and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard on $9.4 million.
But not only the players earn a lot of money with soccer, the fans could also make some extra money if they were into soccer betting. We all are looking forward to the next World Cup, where the fans can bet on their favourite team. And the discussions about the best World Cup Picks have already started.

David Beckham is by far the best football player England has ever produced probably the last. Even though is been shadowed by his bank account, He will always be my greatest player forever and ever.
