The world's highest-paid young athlete, 25-year-old Trevor Lawrence has swiftly risen to become one of the NFL's top-earning players. At the start of the 2024 season, he clinched a five-year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars worth $275 million (£203m). This contributed handsomely to the $74.5 million (£54.9m) he collected in the past 12 months, despite his relatively disappointing performance on the gridiron.

On top of his on-field pay, Lawrence snagged $6 million (£4.4m), having already secured nine long-term endorsements from household names including Adidas, Gatorade and Ritz Crackers.
