How the Sports Stars are doing this year


I just found out that three of the top paid sportsmen are not even active, at the time of writing this post!.

They are Tiger Woods (My Favorite!) recovering from a bum knee surgery, he's going to come back and within the next 3 years, he's going set a new master's record (I don't want to say that he's going break the magnificent record set by Jack Nicklaus, a stunning feat in its right too!)


The there is the retired raceman, F1, Micheal Schumacher (ahh got the spelling right!). Who is earning a cool sum and looks like he's gonna keep doing it way after he's finished driving, (has he every got a speed ticket? bet he could drive away from any police chase).

And the third is Micheal Jordan, the legendary basketball star, who has also retired.

Tiger has earned 91 million, Schumacher 36 million and Jordan 35.5 million, in endorsements.

Nobody is quite sure about the exact earnings of the Globe's top sports men and women, but the following is believed to be a reasonable reliable list of the Top 10 highest-paid sports stars from around the world:
1 Tiger Woods (golf) $91m
2 Phil Mickelson (golf) 49.5m
3 David Beckham (football) $47.5m
4 Oscar De La Hoya (boxing) $43m
5 Kimi Raikkonen (F1) $40m .
6 Michael Schumacher (F1) $36m
7 Michael Jordan (basketball)
8 Roger Federer (tennis) $35m
9 Kobe Bryant (basketball) $33m
10 Shaquille O'Neal (basketball) and Ronaldinho (football) $32m.

Now you got something to tell your friends and look smart.

Hello World!

Yeah, I know,
Tiger Woods said it before me. And I admit, those were mighty appropriate words for the occasion of the time.
I am Moe Lwin and I am in Singapore. And I will be authoring this chronicle of my experiences, and stuff that appeals to me. I surely hope that you find it a bit interesting. Something to brighten up a boring bit of your day I hope.

Many of the items that I will post will normally be real life stories. So if they tend to become a bit boring then you would know that it would be a particular boring part of my life. I am a very family oriented person. And that will be a source a much material too.

I have considerable experience with doing business in Myanmar and still have a lot of contacts there so if you need to know anything pop me an email and I will try too get a answer that you will hopefully find interesting.
I spent a four and half year stint with a FAO project and 576 days with World Vision, both in the dry zone part of central Myanmar.

So hi and nice to meet you and enjoy the ride.

Moe
