So celebs sometimes get the hustle on outside of the job. 50 made $100 mil outside of the rap thing with his investment in vitamin water. Who knew formula 50 would be worth so much. George Lucas made $200 mil on a licensing deal with Hasbro for Star Wars toys. Howard Stern pocketed $82 mil extra from Sirius for meeting subscriber goals. Seems the merge wouldn’t be necessary if everyone wasn’t banking so much (xm and sirius… and Bubba has to work two jobs). Jay-Z roughly matched Howard on the sell of Rocawear.
Oscar De La Hoya made a nice little chunck of change fighting Floyd, $55 mil. Mayweather pocketed $25 mil twice, once beating De La Hoya and again beating Hatton. Get the complete list from forbes.
