The very best players are on roughly £100k/week, so that's what - £5m a year roughly. About $7.5m, say. Below that it varies, players in the top leagues probably average about £20-40k a week, so about $1-2m. They can make more with endorsements etc but only very elite guys make enough off that for it to even enter consideration.
David Beckham probably makes about $15m a year (there were pretty official figures somewhere I think) - that's wages plus a ton of endorsements and he keeps a percentage of all his merchandise sales.
