Methodology
Over 400 athletes, agencies, brands and teams are ranked based on their place on one of Forbes' annual sports lists as well as the place of the other SportsMoney Index members they are directly connected to. To create the SMI, Forbes combined all of the SportsMoney annual valuations lists (sports teams, brands, athletes, agencies) and proprietary financial data into a single ranking that reflects their monetary success and how their values affect one another.
