The Highest Paid Athlete From Each State

Ever wonder who the highest paid athlete from your state is?

If you live in New York, it would be Alex Rodriguez, for California, Giancarlo Stanton.

Playboy pulled together the infographic below charting out the highest paid athlete from each state.

The map is created using only current players and only salaried professional athletes, since golf players, tennis players, and other athletes earnings are based on winnings and can fluctuate.

Also the salary is averaged on a yearly basis, so if an athlete makes 100 million over 10 years, they are counting a salary of 10 million.

The definition of from is where the athlete was born, so if an athlete was born in one state and moved right after, they would show up on the state they were born in.

And apparently… There is currently no professional salaried athlete from Vermont.
