Bolt to earn more than USD 10 million a year !!!

With his rising popularity, the world fastest man is on-track to become the the first track star to earn $10 million a year in endorsements, prize money, and appearance fees.
Bolt agent Ricky Simms mentioned to the media that previous top track stars like Carl Lewis, Maurice Greene and Michael Johnson at the peak of their career was earning $5-7 million a year and Bolt is likely to surpassed that.

We all know endorsements for athletics is paltry compared to sports such as golf where Tigers Wood commands an estimated $100 million a year bounty.

Currently the Jamaican is contracted to Puma which is worth some $1.5 million a year, Gatorade and Digicel (a Caribbean mobile company) and have yet to endorse licensing his image for products such as games, supplements, food and action figures.

Indeed the man is stuff of legend, he says it best when quoted, “My main goal is to be a legend in my sport. You have to stay on top every year. You can’t be fast this season and the next two not be there.”

Usain Bolt & Sanya Richards - World Athletes of the Year 2009

During the celebrations of the World Athletics Gala hosted by International Athletic Foundation (IAF) Honorary President HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and IAF & IAAF President Lamine Diack in the Salle des Etoiles of the Sporting Club d’Eté, Monte Carlo, on Sunday 22 November, 23-year-old Jamaican Usain Bolt and USA’s 24-year-old Sanya Richards were crowned as the Male and Female World Athletes of the Year 2009.

Bolt, who again captivated the attention of the sporting world with his World 100m and 200m gold medals, earned the honour for the second consecutive year.

“It’s been an amazing season, but also a trying season,” said Bolt, who broke his own World records with stunning 9.58 and 19.19 performances at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium. “To be named athlete of the year is such a great honour, it shows that all the work we put in pays off.”

Like Bolt in the shorter sprints, Richards dominated the women’s 400m, producing seven of the year’s 10 fastest performances and finally won her first World title.

“I was asked if this feeling would be the same as being World champion and it really is,” said Richards, who had previously been named World Athlete of the Year in 2006. “Considering the other athletes I was up against this year, I know this must have been a really tough decision.”
