Forbes just published the top 10 highest paid athletes, excluding professional hockey players, at Vancouver Olympics. Some highlights here:
Co-No.1 Yu-na Kim $7.5 millions (that's 7,500,000)
Co-No.1 Shaun White (skateboarder) $7.5 millions
...
No. 3 Lindsey Vonn (skier, the Sports Illustrated cover girl) $2.5 millions
...
No. 5 Apolo Onno (speed skater, winner of Dancing with the Star) $1.5 millions
...
co-No. 7 Gretchen Bleiler (skateborder, was in FHM) $1 million
co-No. 7 Hannah Teter (skateboarder, is in current SI Swimsuit special) $ 1 million
I believe Kim has earned more money than all other active figure skaters combined. And she hasn't won the Olympic gold medal yet. (Sorry, I am rooting for Mao Asada.)
