[QUOTE="Jimellow, post: 141983"] I think Tiger Woods is the most recognizable athlete since Michael Jordan. One one hand, the large amount of money he takes in is ridiculous, but on the other, it's nothing new. Athletes and entertainers are often in the top tier on the social/wealth ladder. It doesn't really make sense, as their jobs are far from "important," but people pay their salaries in the form of tickets and merchandise sales, so I guess they can't complain too loudly. I tend to think that there is a point where the salaries of these athletes and entertainers starts to get ridiculous, but they will continue to get higher and higher. Alex Rodriguez is coming up on a new contract, and all indications are that it will pay better than his record setting $250 million deal he signed years ago. [/QUOTE]
