Amazing! That is about $1 Million US Dollars a week!
If you break that down to a 5 day work week, and 8 hours a day, that is $25,000 US dollars an hour!

And what does he do? Run up and down a field and kick a ball around.
Sorry to sound cynical, but I sometimes wonder about the priorities in this world.

When I say 'your' - i mean for the Americans of the pack...

He is intending to make you Yanks enjoy watching adult soccer as much as you do baseball or american football.... (I understand its a very popular kids sport at the moment with you guys - and sunday league for adults?)

This means Posh Spice Victoria is also coming your way and no doubt she will be seen out in town with her new bestfriend Katie Holmes a lot!!
This is HUGE news in the UK at the moment.
His £5million-a-year WAGES will be paid by a combination of the MLS league, the club, its parent company AEG and sports giant adidas — which is now likely to sponsor the team’s shirts.
He can expect another £2.6million from SALES of replica shirts.
A host of SPONSORSHIP deals with the likes of Pepsi will earn him £13million a year.
And a revolutionary “stakeholder” share of the Galaxy club’s profits is set to bring in a further £5million each year — and potentially far more.
He will effectively be a shareholder in both LA Galaxy and the MLS itself and will get BONUSES if he gets more kids playing the game and more fans at matches.
A source confirmed: “The figure isn’t based on salary alone. There are sponsorship and merchandising deals and performance related payments. For example, if David brings in new TV money he’ll get a cut.
“He will be marketed in the States like no other sportsman in history.
ah and here are those white speedos! (Picture from this summer)

That crab is cute!
Is that the crab from the "Little Mermaid"? Or "SpongeBob Squarepants"?
Well, $250,000,000 would be difficult to resist.
I was in our local variety store this evening, and saw something I never would have noticed if it wasn't for this thread - "Instinct" the cologne by David Beckham. How gross a name is that? Eau de apres soccer stink.
I'd probably buy a bottle of Soccer Stink; especially if it was David Beckham's.
??? ???
Okay. Now I REALLY know it's time to log off.
<but I'm serious about the soccer stink> :)
Now we know what to get you for your next birthday, David! "Soccer Stink" for that special man. :)

A life sized Ken doll ! I hope he is anatomically correct though!
From BBC News Website:
Janine DiGioacchino, general manager of Madame Tussauds New York, said: "We are very excited to give visitors a chance to get up close and personal with Posh and David Beckham.

OhMyGod yall. Just read this whole thread for the 1st time. Can't believe there wasn't more commentary on this:

Cream across his mouth (like the other milk ads, yes — but then look where they put the "Got Milk") Is this a parody?
Or was the ad designer just in a horny (or highly irreverent) mood?
How many zillions of dollars are they paying this guy? And now he's INJURED??
But what was it a commercial for, Shasta? Just David Beckham himself? Is he running for governor of California? This sounds nuts. As if some musclebound furriner could ever get elected to.........grumble grumble...
Thanks for posting, Shasta. As I understand it, getting the rights to use a Beatles song in a commercial is VERY expensive (thank you, Michael Jackson).
I've never seen a commercial welcoming anybody to the US. That's very surprising.
