Im pretty sure even with Formula 1s various millions the only ever driver that could compete with that is Michael Schumacher
This is how they determined the Top 100 list:

"The Celebrity 100, which includes film and television actors, models, chefs, athletes, authors and musicians, is a measure of entertainment-related earnings and media visibility (exposure in print, television, radio and online). The earnings estimates consist of pre-tax income between June 2008 and June 2009. Management, agent and attorney fees are not deducted."

I'm guessing Kaka & Messi are not so well known around the world for I don't know this guys... Of course Schumy is popular but he's already retired and maybe his income from entertainment field is not that much anymore...
