Wow...just wow. Here are some neat stats: 24 are NBA players. One is a hockey player. 2 are women. 3 are not US citizens: Michael Schumacher F-1 racer, David Beckam soccer star, Jaromir Jagr hockey player. Tiger Woods made 70 mil off endorsements, 2nd place was LeBron James at a "mere" 35 mil. Lance Armstrong had the lowest salary at 460,000, to give you an idea of how "low" that is, the 2nd lowest was Venus Williams, who made almost 3x as much as Lance Armstrong with 1,126,555 in salary. 10 players are in the New York area.
