Music will definitely make you an all time legend. Plus you don't have to do a lot of stressful physical work compared to sports
Athletically 
If you an elite athlete, you're almost guaranteed to make millions. Like someone else said, your performance speaks for itself. Art is way more subjectively, so even elite talents need more luck & the right people to see them to succeed.
A few decades ago, I'd say that artistic people had more earning potential when you talk about the head directors & shyt, but Jordan, Magic, Lebron, Woods, etc have shown that you can flip athleticism into true wealth too

athletic gifts get u millions and its up to u to whatever u do with those millions, u can use them to make more millions or u can blow it and be broke in your 40s within 7 years after retirement
artistic gifts dont always guarantee money, u can be the biggest artist in the world and be signed to one nikka thats signed to one nikka thats signed another nikka making more off your own shyt than u do, 2pac died broke, lil wayne suing birdman for millions and hasnt made a dime off of 2 superstars he discovered.. meanwhile benchwarmers are making millions

this generation is so fukked up they dont even know the concept of being artistically gifted 
there is no way you can consider someone broke really if they have the paint skills of a kandinsky or finnesse of a great architect ... you are literally history in the making ... people forget about art and shyt thinking everything is all about "dope cartoons"

I'd love to be the best footballer in the world.
Ronaldo and Messi are probably more famous than any musician alive right now.

Exactly, OP needed to put a caveat on this, because you can be great at all those things, but still not make any money from it. For example, take some one like Chris Brown, he's good at all of those 3, but he's famous because of his music. He's a top 10 performer right now. If he was a top 10 basketball player, he'd have a 100 million dollar contract. If he was one of the top 10 painters or artists, he probably would be a millionaire.
Athletic and play soccer
Think about this for a second... The worst players in the NFL/NBA make hundreds of thousands of dollars. That money is GUARANTEED. If you're in that 1% and put in decent effort you WILL get money. Another thing that I see no one mentioning is that there are loads of different sports league. If you don't make it in the NFL, then you can make it in the CFL, overseas or in the AFL.
OP is one of the biggest complainers on this forum when the topic of today's music come up. Tell me this, why aren't the people who you deem artistically gifted on top of the world? Being a good artist has nothing to do with talent. Britney Spears wasn't a talented artist, but she was charismatic and had that 'look
' that made the masses go crazy.
If you can't get anyone to give you a look, then what's the point of being talented?

I'd want to be like a modern day Mozart
Like creating entire symphonies by age 2 and having ppl think I'm an alien or a robot
Or be the worlds fastest man and run a 7 second 100 yard dash and have a 75" vertical and finish my Olympic career with 86 gold medals
