The English giants were better off in the UEFA Champions League than champions Real Madrid in monetary terms.
Leicester - who reached the furthest of any English side during 2016/17 campaign - received the second highest amount at £73.2m with Real earning just under them at £72.58m.
The Spanish giants edged Juventus 4-1 to become the first club to defend the rechristened European (UEFA Champions League), but they fell short of the Italian giants in the prize-money table.

Juventus topped the prize-money table receiving £98.92m, with Leicester City receiving £73.2m, making them the second highest earner from last season’s UEFA Champions League despite reaching the round of 16 and Real Madrid finished third with earnings of £72.58m.
British and Italian TV deals were more valuable than the Spanish rights, and were shared between fewer clubs than Spain's five in the competition.
UEFA awarded a basic fee of £11.38m to each of the 32 Champions League teams, plus bonuses for results and a share of TV rights money known as the market pool.
That formula gave clubs a share of broadcast deals covering their home country and allowed domestic champions to earn more than second- to fourth-place teams.
