Sorry, but no. Each person you listed was incredibly well compensated for the time they played. To be the best at anything, not just sports, you must have an innate drive and ambition that makes you get up every day and do more than you did the day before. It's why a guy like Tom Brady, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, continues to play the game. Why a Derek Jeter plays until he is 40 years old. Not everyone has that drive, but not everyone has ever had that drive.
