• Team: New York Yankees
  
• Overall earnings: $27.7 million
  

Derek Jeter is 38 years old, which is the Major League Baseball equivalent of entering your 14-year-old dog in a best of show competition. Yet, the Yankee shortstop has put together another exceptional season both on and off the field. His contract with the Yankees pays "just" $15.7 million this year, though he is far and away the most successful endorser in baseball. He's bringing in upward of $12 million this year from names such as Gillette, Ford and his own cologne.
