Kylian Mbappe has topped the Forbes list for highest-earning footballers, the first time someone other than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo has been number one for nine years.
Forbes estimates the 23-year-old Paris St-Germain forward will earn US$128 million this season.
Mbappe's PSG team-mate Messi is second on US$120 million and Manchester United forward Ronaldo third on US$100 million.
Neymar and Mohamed Salah complete the top five.
PSG and Brazil striker Neymar will earn an estimated US$87 million in 2022-23 and Liverpool forward Salah US$53 million.
The last player to top the list other than Ronaldo or Messi was former England captain David Beckham in 2013.
Erling Haaland, who has scored 19 goals in 12 games for Manchester City since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund, makes his debut in the top 10 at number six.
The Norway striker is one of four English Premier League players in the top 10 along with Ronaldo, Salah and Manchester City team-mate Kevin de Bruyne.
Haaland and Mbappe are the only players on the list aged under 30.
