Beckham back on top of rich list
David Beckham is back on top of football's rich list, according to a survey by France Football magazine.
Beckham's move to LA Galaxy helped earn him a staggering £24.7million to reclaim top spot from Ronaldinho.
The former England skipper's base earnings of £2.8m have been boosted by income from endorsements and profit-sharing.
It is estimated he will earn up to £128m during his five-year contract with Galaxy.
Jose Mourinho's golden handshake from Chelsea helped him top the manager's rich list for the third successive year, with £23.1m.
