Christiano Ronaldo, the Manchester United soccer player is probably going to be transferred to Real Madrid for a whopping $130 million dollars, of which he also gets a significant chunk.

David Beckham makes about $1 million a week.

Makes me drool.

I doubt these guys can even read fluently let alone write. But who cares.

Poor me: I always wanted to be a professional soccer player but my parents were having none of my nonsense. They kicked my ass all the way to med school!!

Thats my rant for today, at least for now.

Could they please just give me $110,000? That would be just enough to buy a FULLY loaded M6 including taxes

and that's probably not even factoring in their endorsements !!
When i was in HS we broke it down to where i think Jordan was making $100 bucks every 2-3 seconds (and that was at least 15 yrs ago - class of 94')...so unreal.
