Tiger Woods-A Billionaire by 2010

Supposedly, Tiger Woods, according to a new Forbes report, is on track to become the first billionaire athlete. He should accomplish that feat by the year 2010. What does that mean for those who endorse Tiger? If he, as Tiger Woods, will make a billion dollars, his sponsors will make a whole lot more than that by 2010? He is an investment, and a pretty good one, if I must say so myself. Unbelievable!

I like how Jay Busbee, from the Golf Expert Blog, put it. He put into perspective just how much money Tiger Woods actually makes, by breaking it down per year, per day, per hour, per minute, per second. He summed it up this way: First of all, he will make $100 million this year! And that, my friends, breaks down to:

$273,972 a day,
$11,415.53 an hour,
$190 a minute,
and $3.17 a second.

Jay makes this quote, "That means, hypothetically speaking, if Tiger was walking up the fairway in a tournament and saw a $10 bill lying there, he'd make more money by walking right past it."

Phew! And we thought he was only chasing Jack's old records. No, he is looking to make some new ones of his own, too! WOW!
