I don't see Maria's name on the list..yet I kept hearing that she is the highest paid female athelet per Mary shitrillo. I don't know maybe I missed her name on the list.

she's estimated at around 22 million a year so that would put her after kobe and you cant look past kobe without paying money:(

The aren't any non-Americans on the list, as far as I could see. Michael Schumacher wasn't on it.

Oh, I did not know it was only for Americans.

icequeen, you are starting ti turn into the 'serena' version of Calimero. Just thought I would let you know before you go too far.

Yes, they appeared to have left off a guy named Michael Shumacher, who other than Woods, makes a lot more than any of them.

lol

icequeen, you are starting ti turn into the 'serena' version of Calimero. Just thought I would let you know before you go too far.

what about David Beckam? i bet he makes a lot too.

Agassi and Serena :)

My two all time faves...:)

That list is only for Americans but there was another one in that same issue that was for "non-Americans" and Maria was on that list. Don't remember in what order but V&S were after her.

Please add Venus to that list too. Hey, it's all good for me at least they are still playing.

Tiger is holding it down.

she's estimated at around 22 million a year so that would put her after kobe and you cant look past kobe without paying money:(Sure you can.

3 things strike me about that list...........

First, the differential between actual earnings and endorsements for different athletes are really interesting.

Second, im a big tennis/sports fan, but, honestly, those earnings are kinda obscene. Remember these are folk who basically play games. Before I get pummelled, I know there is a ton of $ in sport, and the players should get the most benefit...... but still, when half my patients can't afford their medications, it makes me really uncomfortable to see individuals earn that much......

Third, if you were serena williams, honestly, how much would you care that weren't really dominating tennis as much when your yearly endorsement salary was $20 million. It be hard not to be a bit complacent when uve already made urself financially secure for lfe, beyond the wiildest dreams of virtually everyone else ........

I was thinking the same thing. I think Serena would be more incline to put more work into her tennis without the $20 million yearly endorsement. The prize money she earn on tour is chump change compare to the endorsement money.

That list is only for Americans but there was another one in that same issue that was for "non-Americans" and Maria was on that list. Don't remember in what order but V&S were after her.
if its for non americans then why would Venus and Serena be on that list? :)

I don't see Maria's name on the list..yet I kept hearing that she is the highest paid female athelet per Mary shitrillo. I don't know maybe I missed her name on the list.


Or maybe your hatred and lack of intelligence prevented you from noticing the list you printed was made up of Americans only before you started yet another (attempted) Maria-bashing thread?:rolleyes:

There was already the list where Sharapova is the second most paid tennis player after Agassi.. but why should anyone care? It's Grand Slam title that counts.. :)

There was already the list where Sharapova is the second most paid tennis player after Agassi.. but why should anyone care? It's Grand Slam title that counts.. :)

Amen! :worship:

Or maybe your hatred and lack of intelligence prevented you from noticing the list you printed was made up of Americans only before you started yet another (attempted) Maria-bashing thread?:rolleyes:


Like I am suppose to know that everyone on that list is American...you stupid bitch. No, you lack of intelligence assumed that I know everyone on the list is American.

Why not? Since you yourself posted the list, it is a good assumption. But I've noticed that for you ignorance is chic and cluelesness is cool.

icequeen, you are starting ti turn into the 'serena' version of Calimero. Just thought I would let you know before you go too far.


Difference being that a Serena hyper looks a little bit out of whack compared to a Graf historian like me ....

I'm sure that Serena being on this list is killing a certain poster. He can't even talk about the fact. :haha:

Latrell Sprewell? Yeah, like he's worth that kind of money. :rolleyes:

there's only 3-4 on the list 99.99% the rest of the world have even heard of.

Touché TBE, and isn't it a hoot that Serena's one of them?

I think American team pro sports stars are ridiculously overpaid. But I guess it's because I don't like those sports.

whoa serena made more $ than AI :eek:

Yeah, and AI spend a lot more time on court than Serena did! :cool:

But AI doesn't want to sell out to make big bucks in the endorsement game. He's got his sneakers contract, but you'll never see him out there pushing cameras, hamburgers, Sprite, etc etc etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;), it's just not who AI is. He's the anti-Sharapova of the NBA! And we love him for it. :hearts:

are those with endorsements?? cuz if it is there is no way that Vee ain´t there and that Rena is not higher then she is.

i remember to see Vee as one of the 25 most powerfull women in the US back in 2k1 (if i´m not wrong)
