3. Vijay Singh – $72 million

Vijay Singh is a professional golf player from Fiji. He was born in February 1963, and he made his firsts steps in golf with his father who was a golf instructor. In 1984, he claimed first place in the Malaysian PGA Championship, but he was suspended for cheating. After that scandal, he was suspended for life to participate in the Asian PGA Tour. Singh tried his luck in Europe PGA Tours and achieved a first place at the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year tournament. The Official World Golf Rankings list named Singh #1 for 32 consecutive weeks in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame and secured his place in the golf history. He is one of the best, and surely one of the highest paid, golfers with $72 million earned in the last year.
