Retired All Black Sonny Bill Williams is poised to become the first $30 million man in rugby league and rugby union.
The Daily Telegraph reported Williams' $10 million, two-year contract with the Toronto Wolfpack in the Super League has already made him the highest-earning star in the history of the two rugby codes.
It could push him towards total career earnings of $30 million.
According to the report, Williams has earned more than $26 million in his 16-year football career and seven-fight boxing career.
Combined with his long-term $2.5 million ambassadorial sponsorship deal with Adidas, Williams' earnings are set to reach $28 million by the time he sees out his deal with Toronto.
