It should be no surprise to see who stands at the top of this list. Back in 2007, when the superstar decided to leave Real Madrid and cross the pond to play in the MLS, he did so for a five-year, $250 million contract with the LA Galaxy.

Not a bad deal for a world-renowned player who was brought in to help bolster the popularity of the league around the country.
