| First Billion-Dollar Athlete
Forbes magazine has announced that Tiger Woods has become the first athlete to make over 1 billion dollars in career earnings!!! It came after he earned 10 million for winning the FedEx Cup on Sunday. The only other athletes to come close are Michael Jordan who earned $800 million and Formula One driver Michael Schumacher at $700 million. http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/29/tig...rts-tiger.html |

I'm pretty sure he didn't make 1 billion dollars just from golf, I think this is merely on how much he has made as and athlete, sponsors, endorsements, winnings, contracts and everything combined. I didn't read the link but I read on the pervious forbes that he makes about 100million a year and that includes everything from endorsements to winnings.

Woods had earned a cumulative $895 million going into 2009, by our estimates, from prize money, appearance fees, endorsements, bonuses and his golf course design business. If you add his $10.5 million in 2009 prize money, the FedEx bonus and his take so far this year from his more than $100 million in annual off-the-course earnings, Woods' career earnings are now 10 figures.
| yup, everything

how can you compare MJ's wage and Tiger's wage?
they are 10-15 years apart. assuming inflation rate is about 2%-3% a year, the figure as of today would be pretty damn close!
normalize tiger's wage to jordan's time, or vice versa and compare.

I'm sure if Schumacher was still racing, he would've been first... Or really close!

How old is Tiger?
The difference between Michael and Schumacher is that they are past their prime. Tiger can keep playing golf until he is a senior - and then he would still get endorsement for playing in the seniors tournaments!!!

Jordan quit playing when he was still in his prime though, and before the more outrageous wages
Schumacher could have kept going, hell if his neck wasn't fucked i bet he'd still be owning it up as a Massa replacement
