>So what is the origin of the $250 million number? It was part of a January press release crafted by Simon Fuller, the brainchild behind American Idol and the Spice Girls. Fuller, who is also David Beckham's business rep, was actually referring to the $250 million "potential value" of Beckham's contract. For Beckham's pay day to actually equal $250 million, Americans are going to have to go ga-ga for soccer. Let's crunch the numbers and see where Simon Fuller got this potential $250 million. We have David Beckham's $5.5 million annual salary over 5 years and his guaranteed extra million each year, that's $32.5 million. He is also being paid $25 million by Herba Life for placing its logo on his jersey. That gives David $57.5 million. Add $20 million in "existing" corporate endorsements from sponsors such as Motorola, and that brings David up to $77.5 million.
