David has continued to earn millions despite quitting the game in 2013.
In March it was reported he is second only to basketball megastar Michael Jordan, who earned £69million last year despite having retired in 2003.
His pay was so high because of lucrative endorsement deals with fashion firms. Sports brand Kent & Curwen pays him £5.5million a year, plus royalties on his designer collection.
