Thierry Henry ($6 000 000)
Although he didn’t have the longest commentating career ever, soccer star Thierry Henry took up the challenge back in 2018 when Sky Sports enlisted him to cover the matches. For his efforts, which lasted just one year, he was paid a pretty penny to the total sum of $6 million. Although it didn’t stick, it’s still worth mentioning that with a little bit of clout in a sport, you can continue to earn the big bucks as a broadcaster, should you wish to pursue that route.

Tony Romo ($17 000 000)
After wrapping up his commitments as a star NFL player, it was only obvious for Tony Romo to try his hands at broadcasting too. The popular player landed a gig with ESPN in no time at all, although today he calls CBS home. Although he was initially earning a cool seven figures, rumor has it that CBS pays him in the region of $17 000 000 a year. No wonder he made the switch, which makes him one of the highest paid sportscasters in the world.
