Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has overtaken Manchester City's Yaya Toure
and Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon to become Africa's highest paid
sportsman. The Black Stars captain topped Ivorian midfielder Toure and
Eto'o to become Africa's highest paid sportsman by The Magazine's
Money Issue salary survey project. Gyan will make $16m annual profit
from his salaries, wages and endorsements as well as his private
businesses, breaking even with Tamba Hali who plays for NFL side
Kansas City Chiefs. The UAE-based striker, who earns a tax free salary
in the Arabian country, finishes ahead of Toure who earns US$ 15.4
yearly income from his weekly US$ 322,000 salary at the Etihad club.
Samuel Eto'o was said to be on the salary of $13.3m while Emmanuel
Adebayor is at a distant fourth. Gyan has invested his money in the
food industry with Vits Instant Noodles with other interests in
boxing, music, real estate and education.
