It's been said that NBA legend Michael Jordan made more money in various endorsements than he did playing in the NBA. Back then, that may have been true, but in today’s sports world, elite athletes are signing deals that exceed $500 million.

The top-five highest-paid NFL players all make at least $55 million annually, with Dak Prescott sitting at the top, earning $60 million a year.

Where does Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen fall on this list?

He is currently tied with three other quarterbacks who make $55 million a year, but Allen has other revenue steams coming in.

While he may not be making the income that Jordan made during his career through endorsements, Allen is reportedly worth $70 million a year, which is a whopping $45 million more than his new wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, who comes in at $25 million, according to Celebritynetworth.com.
