Watch that, and imagine how much $$ Nike made on the 16th Hole.

Holly cow... that was insane!

I read he was second highest to Tiger from Nike, how is that, what exactly do they sell with Tiger Woods on it? Must be some good ...

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, but...golf clubs?

Intersting, guesstimate is that even when he signed the 25-30 million dollar deal with the Bulls, if that's correct, he would still max out at about 65 million, of course that was back in 1997....

I think it was between 30-35 million those last 2 years..... I do know the 1st full year of his "1st" retirement he made 40 million of endorsements alone.

After that phat ass headbutt dunk he pulled off against the Mavs he ought to be the 19th highest paid.

[Phenomanul]

Combining the International 20 List with the List of 50 Americans.... Ronaldinho would rank at #8 pushing Lebron James to #9.
