Why is this man happy? Because in the time it takes you to read this sentence, hes just made $20. And again. And again. A torrential flood of money, pouring straight into the bank account of one Tiger Woods.
A new Forbes report reveals that Woods is on track to become the worlds first billionaire athlete by 2010. That, friends, is nothing short of astonishing. We all know about billionaires whove made their money through skyrocketing IPOs or entrepreneurial sellouts shoot, Im one, arent you? but for Woods to make his billion through nothing but paychecks is pretty damn amazing.
But a billion is such an abstract number. Lets break that down. Tiger is on pace to make about $100 million this year between endorsements and winnings, even considering the fact that he wont play in another tourney. $100 million a year equals $273,972 a day. $11,415.53 an hour. $190 a minute. He earns three dollars and seventeen cents per second. That means, hypothetically speaking, if Tiger was walking up the fairway in a tournament and saw a $10 bill lying there, hed make more money by walking right past it.
