Leading the way is former Arsenal star Thierry Henry, who plays with Cahill at New York, who is on $5.6million as teammate Rafael Marquez sits behind him on $4.6million.
In third place is LA Galaxy's David Beckham on $4million annually, followed by Cahill, and then Galaxy attackers Robbie Keane ($3.4m) and Landon Donovan ($2.4m), Toronto FC skipper Torsten Frings ($2.4m), Montreal Impact striker Marco Di Vaio ($1.9m), FC Dallas midfielder Julian de Guzman ($1.9m), Toronto forward Danny Koevermans ($1.6m), Portland Timbers' Kris Boyd ($1.5m) and Vancouver Whitecaps striker Kenny Miller ($1.2m).
