Did you read what you link? LOLThey were counting his ENTIRE signing bonus paid over 2 seasons in several increments as 2005 income.

But then that wasn't my point (or anyone else's) in comparing the gift to the tax bracket - once you earn double digit millions, a bracelet like that is merely a relative trinket. Particularly when the gal you are gifting makes double digit millions too. He probably gave it to her one day recently because it was, oh say Tuesday...

Of course I read it. Who cares where the money came from (I never said he got it from endorsements!). I was calling out the entire pay check of 29 million as someone was posting he made 11 million a year compared to Gisele's 18 million a year.

Do you read what is posted???

Considering how Bridget wound up, Giselle may push for marriage sooner rather than later.

Whether she gets it, of course, is a different matter ...

How did she wind up exactly? She seems happy. She got her baby (she is getting older), and she got some great DNA for said baby. Not to mention she is all set for a long long time!

LOL - this is apparently a lost cause. Yeah, right after I wrote it I read it. It's their average earnings. His primary day job will pay him $46M between 2005-2008 - or an average of $11.5M per. He "made" $16M per in 2005 and 2006. He will only make $6M this year (so in 2007 he could be a comparative kept man...).

His endorsements are somewhat limited by his choice, and we have no idea what he has or will make on them in any given year. Forbes clearly stated they simply used his entire signing bonus in guesstimating his so called earnings for their 2005 seasonal rankings (although he hadn't yet seen $12M that was a scheduled 2006 option bonus, which like all Tommy's bonuses was doled out in increments)...

But then again this financial discussion is all elementary since you obviously don't get it...

The entire point was millionaires (period) drop $3000 on gifts for lots of occasions, or none at all.
