The Forbes magazine has published the 2011 Forbes List of world's 50 richest athletes in early June 2011. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Yao Ming take the top three places in the list among NBA players and Yao ranks world's No. 18.

NBA players take 15 places of the top 50 in the list, who earn an average annual income of $ 28m. The golfer Tiger Woods successively wins the world's No. 1 with an annual income of $ 75m, regardless of the scandals earlier which almost destroyed him. Kobe takes the No. 2 with an annual income of $ 53m last year; LeBron James takes a place right behind him with $ 48m.

The following are the NBA players in top 50 in the list:
2. Kobe Bryant, LA Lakers, $ 53,000,000
3. LeBron James, Miami Heat, $ 48,000,000
18. Yao Ming, Houston Rockets, $ 27,700,000
19. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic, $ 27,600,000
20. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat, $ 26,200,000

49. Paul Gasol, LA Lakers, $ 18,900,000
50. Michael Redd, Milwaukee Bucks, $ 18,800,000

Kobe has just got an expensive advertising contract signed with some car manufacturer this year and now he is the spokesman in China. His salary this season is up to $ 24.8m, which is $ 4.3m more than Rashard Lewis who earns a second highest salary in the Association. LeBron James has the best NBA jersey sale, so is his shoes. In addition, he is also a shareholder of the Premier League football club Liverpool, which shows his brilliant vision of investment. Yao Ming's contract with the Rockets will be officially expired after this season. Advertising is one of his main sources of income, and a sneaker brand is his biggest sponsor.

It must be the most beautiful formal dress I've ever seen!
