What is this sequence

[Optimistic Nick]

correct

the final list (according to Forbes, total salary including bonuses)

1: messi
2: Neymar
3: Ronaldo
4: Bale
5: Ramsey
6: Oscar
7: Pogba
8:Rooney
9: Suarez
10: Aguero

I am no Rooney hater - I think that he was very, very good international level footballer. But what on earth is he doing in that list!?
