ubiquitous Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Saw this on the local news last night before falling asleep and had a little chuckle... Article here. Maradona is typically wearing two Rollies at once; one on each wrist and both I believe to be Daytonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanyboy Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 At least Maradona could make this claim: "They have no jewels, but they can go underwater." I guess he knows for sure that his watches are real. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrono903 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 31 million euro in taxes? holy [censored]! how much does a soccer player make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Didn't he play in the 'Rest of the World' celebrity charity team for Sport Aid? Didn't see the game but he's looking a lot healthier these days than he once did. Tax evasion is a national sport in Italy - getting caught is the sign of a real idiot!

sssurfer Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 31 million euro in taxes? holy [censored]! how much does a soccer player make? It's not they make that much, it's Italian taxes that are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's not they make that much, it's Italian taxes that are high. First, the mafia seduce him with their cocaine and women (and all those court cases - some true, some false - to get child support money for their kid. One Italian woman named her son Diega Armando Maradona Jr, and he plays for Napoli youth team, and it's since been proven that he really is Diego's son); Second, opponents kicked him so much he couldnt even get onto the pitch without pain killers to stop the agony; Third, lots of people have made more money from his name - Napoli themselves would probably never have won anything let alone 2 league titles without him - and probably no other player could have single-handedly had this big affect on success; Fourth, the Italian government retrospectively tax him, and probably at a rate more than he had earned by the level of taxes levied - 31 million. Even nowadays, the highest salary that a club pays is around 4-5 million pounds a year (almost $8-10 million) not including marketing/advertising.

Chronus Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Nowadays, with endorsements, the top earner is probably Ronaldinho (the best player in the world) or David Beckham, who makes around $40-50 million a year I think.

psda Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think Ronnie makes about 24 mio euro per year. But look at that poor sod Maradona, arguably one of the best football players of all times, but now a complete jerk. I cannot imagine that a guy like Ronnie once will end up like that.
