Since I don't believe anyone on the list has found a cure for cancer, invented a low cost environmentally friendly fuel that can run an automobile, eliminated global warming, and/or caused all religions in the world to love each other, etc.; I'll take a "wild ass" guess here and say zero.

No pro athlete, in any sport, is anywhere near being "worth" what they are paid.
