Beyond the love for the game, the dream of becoming a professional athlete has often been the hope of achieving a life-altering contract. Those paydays have arrived for a tiny set of pro athletes, which are bigger than ever. Here are five recent examples of record-breaking sports contracts.

Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics

Earlier this week, Celtics star Jaylen Brown agreed to a five-year supermax extension to his contract worth $304 million. The deal is the largest in NBA history and the first pro-basketball contract to exceed $300 million. Sports analysts predict other NBA players ⁠— including Brown’s teammate, Jayson Tatum, who is up for a supermax extension next year ⁠— could receive even larger contracts as more money pours into the league. For now, however, Brown remains the NBA’s highest-paid player. He announced he hopes to use his new salary “to launch a project to bring Black Wall Street here to Boston” and create “new jobs, new resources, new businesses, new ideas” to shrink the city’s racial wealth gap.

Kylian Mbappé, Al Hilal

As enormous as the NBA contracts are becoming for athletes like Brown, they pale compared to the top money available in international soccer. Several NBA stars reacted with amazement that 24-year-old Kylian Mbappé, star of the Paris-Saint Germain soccer club, is being offered an unbelievable $775 million to play for just one year for the Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal. While recent reports suggest Mbappé might not be willing to move to Saudi Arabia now, the current bidding war over the soccer player could send him to Spain’s Real Madrid team or lead to him re-signing with his current team for an even heftier contract.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr FC

Mbappé’s next contract could put him in the same financial tier as longtime soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who left England’s Manchester United team to join the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr FC. The 38-year-old player’s deal with the Saudi club is thought to start at a baseline of $75 million per year. That salary helped Ronaldo become the world’s highest-paid athlete this year, above athletes like Mbappé, LeBron James and Ronaldo’s longtime rival, Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi, Inter Miami

Speaking of Messi, the Argentine soccer legend recently arrived in the U.S., signing a landmark deal with the Major League Soccer team Inter Miami. The Florida team reportedly pays Messi between $50 million to $60 million per year, a considerable sum for the growing sport of American soccer. But on top of his salary, Messi’s deal reportedly includes giving the player a share of the MLS streaming deal with Apple and a part of the profits that Adidas, the official sponsor of MLS, makes from the league. The vast investment in Messi appears to be paying off already. His first game with Miami brought out 21,000 fans ⁠— including LeBron James and Serena Williams ⁠— who were present to watch him score a game-winning goal for his new team.

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

While Messi’s arrival shows the growth of soccer in the U.S., American football remains the country’s most considerable money-making sport. And Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes currently has the NFL’s largest contract, earning $450 million over ten years. Although other players have recently surpassed Mahomes in per-year earnings, sports analysts have predicted a contract renegotiation this year that puts Mahomes back on top as the highest-paid NFL player per year.

With the amount of money going into these sports from ticket sales, broadcast deals, advertising and more, expect even more of these mind-blowing salaries in future years.
