Dude I hear you, to me it's just as obscure as Mr. Olympia is to others...

Re: Tiger, his youth, background, and all-around class make him a good story, and he is likely the greatest ever, but to the tune of $1B??? Seriously???

Yes, seriously. Tiger gets PAID and I mean PAID for making companies like Nike money. He's a household name to people who don't even watch golf, the amount of what companies make by his endorsement is probably 100x more than what they paid him for the endorsement.

Thats $1bil includes.......winnings, endorsements, holdings, investments. He donates his endorsement earnings to his foundation here in Anaheim.

I'm pretty sure Magic Johnson has more.

But not from the sport. More as an enterpreneur.

I don't think any athlete should be making this kind of money. With that said, I like Tiger. He's probably the best golfer ever, great role model, good person, etc. Like to see those kind of guys do very well.

It's just pathetic and ridicolous. A billion $ for playing a lil golf.

Every fucking construction worker and supermarket cashier works a 1000 times harder; and they get nothing and have families to feed.

Christiano Ronaldo can surpass him.

What about Beckham?

They're not even in his league. There are polls showing that Tiger is the most recognizable sports figure on the planet. Those two losers? Not so much.

All honorable jobs, but maybe people in those positions don't aspire to be anything more. It's not they're being held back.......it's still America......so far. Sorry, it's hard for me buy into that. A job is a job and but if you love what you do, it's NOT work.

If you say you "can't" you won't!!

this is the way the human world always worked...

99,999999999999% of people are unknown coackroaches surviving with wathever nature gave em. 0,000000000000000001 % of the population benefits from luck, money and mainly sheer inheritance.

If you re rich you re giving an incredible start to your kids, a start all other human will envy for their whole life.

If your parents werent rich or smart, you can try to become rich yourself , and give this to your kids, to ensure better chances of survival for em.

But make no mistake, just because you have pics of yourself flexing your biceps on a myspace or youtube account doesnt make you part of this 0.00000000000000001%. That's the trick nowadays. Everyone think their shit doesnt stink in our modern societies. Eventually everyone of us spoiled morons have to face reality soon enough about our real condition.

This is nonsense from the self-help aisle at Barnes and Noble.

Nothing you will ever read in those books ever made anyone else rich; you only make THEM rich...

........just accept the fact that some people are more drivin than others!!

There's plenty of opportunity for everyone........so far!

BTW, I don't read "self-help" books.
