The highest paid athlete of all time was a Roman chariot driver named Gaius Appuleius Diocles. He raced for 24 years and won 35,863,120 in prize money. This is recorded on an inscription erected in Rome by his fellow charioteers and fans upon his retirement. It was said his total winnings were enough to provide the entire city of Rome with grain for a whole year. In today's money his winnings would be about $15 billion.
