ESPN World Fame 100
ESPN World Fame 100 is an Annual Ranking of the Biggest Names in Sports. Ben Alamar, ESPN's director of sports analytics, devised a formula that combines salary and endorsements with social media following and Google search popularity.

The Portuguese Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo tops the list in every year since its inception. The last update was published in 2019.

Methodology
The ESPN World Fame 100 is an annual attempt to create a ranking, through statistical analysis, of the 100 most famous athletes on the planet.

It started with Forbes' annual list of the highest-paid athletes and expanded the pool from there using a variety of domestic and international sources to make sure it didn't overlook any legitimate candidates. It also took input from ESPN journalists around the world, including bureaus in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

The data for each athlete in the pool was then fed into a formula created by ESPN director of sports analytics Ben Alamar that weighs athletes' endorsements, their following on the social media Big Three (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) and Google search popularity, producing a comparative ranking system. The analysis includes five categories: endorsement money, Twitter followers, Instagram followers, Facebook followers and Google Trends score. For special situations (esports and China) it used two additional categories: other social media -- for when the athlete was more relevant on a platform outside the Big Three (Twitch, for example, although no gamers made the top 100) -- and, in China's case, Baidu search score, because Google is blocked there.

Salary is not used as a factor because of differences among sports. For example, players in a league with a salary cap would be at an unfair disadvantage when measured against players in uncapped leagues. Endorsement dollars, however, reflect the ability to draw attention -- which is a good way to define fame.

Endorsement amounts were compiled by ESPN researchers. All currency figures were converted to U.S. dollars. The social media followings and Google Trend scores, Which show relative popularity based on how often names are searched on a scale of 0 to 100.
