the numbers are unreal, he'll be the 1st person ever to accumulate 1 billion dollars from playing a sport

I'm going to go and see if the sport of polo needs a marketable celebrity

But most of that isn't from playing the sport-- it's from endorsements.

Yes - probaly 80% of it is business related.

Palmer and Nicklaus kind of blazed the way there. Greg Norman with his Clothes Line and Wineries have made him a fortune late in his career and post career.

Tiger has branded himself and with Nike - etc taken this to a whole new level! Jordan did it with Nike - Sneakers too!

Love seeing the old Astro's uni there John. Those uniforms from the late 70's were unbelievable.
