Forbes Ranks Shaun White As Top Earner

Forbes Magazine has an article up which ranks Shaun White as one of the ‘Top-Earning Athletes Of The 2010 Winter Olympics’. Not exactly a surprise but the article says, “Last year 23-year-old White pocketed $7.5 million from the likes of snowboard-maker Burton, Red Bull, Target, goggle-maker Oakley, game-maker Ubisoft and AT&T, making him one of the highest-earning athletes appearing at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.” Other notable snowboarders include Gretchen Bleiler who came in at  number seven earning US$1 million in 2009. She was tied with Hannah Teter and Lindsey Jacob Ellis. Check the full article out here.
