NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earns more than his star players. NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Goodell, who is facing pressure to resign in the face of the Ray Rice domestic abuse scandal, earned a whopping $44.2 million for the 2012 season, the most recent to be reported by the NFL. That was up 50% from 2011.
The only player who came close to earning that kind of money was Drew Brees, who pulled down $40 million in salary and signing bonus that same year, according to salary tracker Spotrac.

Goodell became commissioner in 2006, and earned $105 million from the 2008 through 2012 seasons. The league has yet to file its 2013 season financials.
The best paid player in those 5 seasons was legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, who pocketed $85.7 million in the same period.
(Manning, however, pulls in a lot more money from endorsements.)

Even if Goodell is forced out of his job, he may still get paid. His predecessor Paul Tagliabue earned $1 million a year through the the 2011 season, in addition to retirement and deferred compensation of at least $7.6 million.
The NFL declined to comment on Goodell's post-employment compensation package.
Most of Goodell's pay comes in the form of bonus and incentive pay. His base salary is about $3 million a year.
The NFL is the richest sports league in the world, with about $10.5 billion in annual revenue. But the league is actually classified as a non-profit since it disperses the league's profits to its 32 teams. As a result its tax filings, which include Goodell's pay, are made public.
No other major sports leagues publicly report executive pay.

Goodell makes more than many chief executive officers. Wal-Mart (WMT) CEO Michael Duke heads up the country's biggest company, with $476 billion in sales, and he earned just $20.7 million in 2012.
Rex Tillerson, CEO of the second largest company, Exxon Mobil (XOM), came close to matching Goodell's 2012 paycheck, taking home total compensation of $40.3 million that year
