    He didn't ear a fraction of Prem players though.

    They should be made for life but spend it as quick as they earn it.

    Maybe highest paid footballer though there are a couple more who would be up there but we have a couple of NBA players earning a lot more and also a couple of F1 drivers though not both at the same time
