A note for football fans; With earnings of £20.5m a year, David Beckham gets more than the Queen, and remains the UK's highest paid footballer.

Anybody daring enough to declare their earning per year?
CHL. £1000 a year (sure is depressing comparatively!!!)

Jericho - $22,354,086.00 p.a (I'm a millionaire :cool: )



Note - (All figure quoted in Indonesia Rupiah :D )

[Cool Hand Luke]

I just work out David Beckham's salary to be RM2.7 million per game. Or RM30,000 per minute. I mean... a lot of time on the football pitch, he could just be strolling around, picking up the ball or just picking his nose.

:D

Want to be even more depressed?

There was a list published recently for the 10 most highly-paid dead people.

The list include Elvis, John Lennon, Tolkien etc

We're alive and still make less than them.

[jericho]
