I can't even imagine what this guy's life must be like...Tiger Woods has signed his third multi-year agreement with Nike, according to an ESPN report.
Terms of the contract were not released, but they have been quite lucrative in the past. Woods' original contract in 1996 was worth a reported $40 million over five years. In 2001, he signed another five-year deal for a reported $100 million.
If you make hundreds of millions of dollars a year playing golf, you're married to a Swedish lingerie model, and you are the most recognizable person in perhaps the known universe...it would be pretty cool to be you. On the other hand, you can't go out to dinner, see a movie or take your wife for ice-cream without getting mobbed by rude, sychophantic fans who don't respect your privacy or personal space.
A measure of anonymity can be a good thing. Then again, I would gladly trade my anonymous obscurity for 100 mill. and a career stroke average of like 68.
