The website, Opendorse, tracks endorsement deals for the world's top athletes. They keep track of who gets paid the most, and a big portion of their revenue is actually generated from tweeting about products.

Athletes are getting paid a lot of money to tweet because it's targeted advertising. Their followers are already agreeing to read whatever these athletes post.

The No. 1 endorsement athlete in the world is still Tiger Woods. He made $55 million in 2014 endorsements. His twitter value is $12,600 per tweet.

Meanwhile, LeBron James is the No. 2 most endorsed athlete who brought in $53 million last year, but his twitter value is greater. It's a whopping $126,200 per tweet.

However, the greatest twitter value belongs to Christiano Ronaldo. His page is valued at $303,900 per tweet.

Here are the other top 10 most endorsed athletes and what their tweets are worth:
