Can you cook I've seen this referenced a lot. "George Foreman himself has made over $150 million from the sales of the grills" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman_Grill What exactly was the relationship between this pugilist and a cooking device? Somehow, I bet Salton, or whoever manufactures those grills has made over $150million, but I bet Mr. Foreman's contract stipulates a small percent for the use of his name. People ALWAYS over estimate how much public figures make. Alan In this case, you're wrong: "Lucrative, too. Foreman won't say how much he has made as a product endorser, but he doesn't dispute a published estimate that his lifetime earnings are about $240 million -- three times what he earned in the ring. In 1999, Salton bought the rights to use his name and selling skills in perpetuity for $127.5 million in cash and $10 million in stock. It stands as one of the biggest endorsement deals for any athlete." http://www.businessweek.com/magazine...1/b3913093.htm Well. I'll be........................... I'm in shock, too. It's way more money than I thought he'd make. -- Bob in CT |
