Michelle Wie Banked $19 million Last Year

» by GI Korea in: Sports Related

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.
