Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly floating on cloud nine right now and honestly he has all the reasons in the world to do that. After all, it's not every day that you get crowned with the FIFA's men's Player Of The Year. The Real Madrid star defeated his Barcelona rival, Lionel Messi to take home the award for the second year in a row. However, Ronaldo's victory wasn't the only thing that caught people's attention. Despite losing to Ronaldo, Messi turned out to be the unexpected star of the show with his priceless and humble reaction to the former's victory.

While, both Ronaldo's and Messi's fan clubs were visibly divided and busy riding on this one reaction, there was one guy who used his unparalleled running skills and snatched the thunder away from both the stalwarts. We are talking about none other than the legendary sprinter Usain Bolt, who has outshined both Ronaldo and Messi to become the world's third highest valuable sports brand. 

Usain Bolt might have retired now but that does not hamper his brand value in any way as it stands at a whopping $27 million. While Messi is nowhere close to the competition (he's at the 9th spot), Ronaldo still managed to clinch the fourth position with $21.5 million.

We don't want to demean anyone here. We love both Usain and Ronaldo equally, but we also can't help state that while Ronaldo was busy kicking balls on the field, Bolt did what he does best i.e. running and sprinted off with most of the money and endorsements in a blink of an eye. Having said that, we are sure Ronaldo won't stay low for long and will come back with a bang before anyone even completely recuperates from this list.

However, if there's anyone who is truly giving a tough time to Bolt, it's probably ace Formula One racing driver, Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton, who is basking in the victory of the US Grand Prix, took Bolt for a spin and when the two fastest men in the world came together, sparks flew (quite literally).

Taking a spin around in a luminous green Mercedes-Benz, Bolt was screaming inside the car as Hamilton threw in some sharp turns and drifts to heat things up. In fact, Bolt even jokingly said that the F1 champ “tried to kill him” after he was done shouting “Holy, f**king hell!” and “Watch the road” from inside the car. Hamilton, on the other hand, seemed to be having the time of his life, watching Bolt shriek his lungs off during the trip. This is seriously some next-level entertainment!
