Despite looking certain to move on, the Wales international’s contract with Real Madrid is worth 18.2m a year after tax.Next up, Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero takes his place on the list after seeing his wealth increase by 10m as his goals have helped fire the Citizens to within touching distance of the Premier League title. The Argentine earns about 15m a year, including a weekly salary of 250,000.The only other non-footballer on the list besides McIlroy is world heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua, who saw a 14m increase in wealth this year.
