Not pointless, I'd say. I get your point, but consider that inflation changes every year, making it hard to be precise. However, in this context, it's not as relevant because we're focused on what players actually earned at the time. So, it's pretty remarkable to still see Pete Sampras in the top 10.
@@TopGSelections As a rough approximation, you can multiply previous-generation players' earnings by a factor of 2.5~3. Pete's earnings will closely match that of Roger, which is surprising considering Roger won more titles. On the other hand, Becker's earnings will closely match that of Murray - the number of titles works out but I think Becker had a better career.

I accidentally forgot to add the text 'Million' after the career money amount in the numbers 2 and 3. Sorry for the inconvenience!
But then inflation makes this comparison pointless as 1million USD back in 90s was insane amount of money

Cool stuff. Marin Cilic is croatian.
What about Boris Becker?
He is on place 19 on the list. :)
What a jump from Pete Samras on 5 place to the big 4!
