    I know mate, ridiculous money over there right now. I just meant there was no way he was ever going to accept that, he doesn't seem the type.

    serious question... what does one do with that amount of money?
    It builds up in a bank, then what?
    It becomes totally meaningless.

    Then they die and pass it on to their kids, who later in life die and pass it on to their kids.

    Happy Friday people.

    Isn't he the highest paid sportsman in the world already? It surprised me when l read it l would've thought footballers were millions away from NBA/NFL players in the U.S.

    I can't see how the Chinese league is going to be sustainable. Aren't they paying bang average players like Hulk £400k per week. Utter madness.

    No he's not even the highest paid footballer in the world .....David Beckham is and he's only the 9th highest earning Sportsman! Michael Jordan still leads the charts.

    No I can assure you, China is a Communist country. This is what happens when the lefties get in power, the masses live in squalor, and then the rich reward their friends. It happened in Cuba, in Soviet Russia, look at Arthur Scargill, he made millions off the misery of others. In a free market economy, which has given us everything worth having, might I add, no one player would be gifted such an absurd amount, market forces would dictate how much he should receive. This is typical leftyism - throw money at a problem with complete disregard for the long term consequences. It's sickening.
