Does she deserve it? Who knows. But she got it. Michelle Wie, the 17 year old golf phenom from Hawaii reportedly earned over $20 million in endorsements and appearance fees. That and she hasn’t even won a tournament!
Amid much controversy over Michelle Wie’s performances in PGA tournaments and the fact that she has yet to win an LPGA event, she still is within the top 20 highest payed athletes in the world this year! Wow!
Some of her richest exploits this year was the now famous $10 million Nike and Sony contract as well as $1.5 million just for showing up at the Casio World Open of Japan!
If she makes $20 million without winning just wait until she starts winning, and this at only 16 years old.
