How does Lebron get paid so much? The NBA has a soft salary cap, so a lot of it has to be from sponsorships, and not from the Cavaliers themselves.

Federer doesn't surprise me, he is that guy everyone wants to work with if it comes to advertisement and the price he asks for is surely high.

The NFL, like the NHL, has a hard salary cap, so there's a limit that every team is allowed to spend on players, with no exceptions.

looks like the top basketball players profit from teamsizes being smaller due to only fielding 5 at a time > individual skill is much more important and expensive
