Rounding out the top three is 24-year-old NBA superstar LeBron James。
杀入三强的还有24岁的篮球巨星:勒布朗·詹姆斯。
Though he failed to take his Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA finals, he managed to lead the team to the best record in the league--the feat garnered King James this year's NBA Most Valuable Player award。
尽管在这个赛季中他没能带领克利夫兰骑士队拿下NBA季后赛的总冠军,他仍使球队在联赛中表现出最佳状态,取得了最好成绩。因此“小皇帝” 詹姆斯也在本赛季中被评为年度常规赛的最有价值球员。
Still more impressive: James banked 40 million over the course of the year, thanks to a lucrative salary padded by a slew of endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Upper Deck,State Farm Insurance and VitaminWater。
更令人印象深刻的是:詹姆斯今年大约进账4000万美元,这多亏了与耐克、亚德球星卡、美国国家农场保险以及可口可乐“维他命水”等一系列公司签订的赞助合同,它们极大地填补了他的收入。
Also registering among the best paid: tween sensations Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas and their Disney Channel pal, Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus。
同时上榜的还包括:年轻组合乔纳斯三兄弟,迪士尼频道热播剧《汉娜蒙塔纳》中的明星麦莉·赛勒斯。
Both Cyrus and the Jonas brothers earned 25 million care of a similarly young and ever-loyal audience willing to shell out for their music, television, films and merchandise galore。
深受同龄年轻人追捧的塞勒斯和乔纳斯兄弟各有2500万美元的年收入,忠诚的粉丝们甘愿为其音乐、影视作品甚至代言商品买单。
