In the UK there is a controversial soccer player from Argentina, his name is Carlos Tevez and he earns £250,000 a week -which at today's exchange rate is $392,5000 -a week; how does that compare? In addition, because of tantrums, he hasn't actually played a game for about a month or more....to complicate matters, he is 'owned' by a syndicate....yeah I know, balls, nets, hoops,dollars, pounds and pesos....do you ever think you missed your vocation in life?

How many games does he play a week? I'm pretty sure that put's him up there with the highest paid NBA players.

Most Premier League players perform once a week, sometimes two if they are also involved in a European tie; I think 3 games in a week is considered unusual. He hasn't played at all for over a month -he had a row with his manager who asked him to play as a substitute in a club game in Germany in the Champions League -when asked to take the field of play, he declined...apparently he prefers Buenos Aires to Manchester, one wonders why...
