For someone who cannot win anything, she sure does get paid well to lose:
Korean-American golf star Michelle Wie took the 4th spot on Forbes magazine’s 20 Under 25 list of Top-Earning Young Superstars, which includes both athletes and entertainers.
Despite her poor showing this year, the 18-year-old golfer banked US$19 million thanks to activities and endorsements last year, beating out all three “Harry Potter” stars — Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint — and other famous Hollywood actresses such as Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan, who ranked 12th and 18th with $5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

I am quite surprised that she made more than Scarlett Johannsson. It will be interesting to see how much she gets paid in the upcoming year if she continues to lose as badly as she has this year.

Mark beat me to it. I was going to say that sure made her father happy. Michelle? She will be in therapy for years.
And since she is going to be there anyway, am I the only guy who noticed the perky little pair under that shirt?

Coreans frown upon therapy, Skippy. She’ll definitely have the illness for which there is no cure, though.
