• Team: New York Yankees
  
• Overall earnings: $24 million
  

Ichiro Suzuki is certainly in the twilight of his remarkable career, and while he won't land any more contracts like the $17 million he's bringing in this year, he is still among the richest baseball players due to his incredibly loyal following back home in Japan that results in incredibly friendly advertisers. Suzuki's $7 million in estimated endorsements is among the highest in baseball, though he's rumored to have turned down tens of millions of dollars in other deals in the past.
