The Tassie Punter Backs A Winner
The Tasmanian born captain of the Australia cricket team, Ricky Ponting has expert analysts estimating that he is worth around two million a year from Australian endorsements alone.
Last year he was ranked as the most marketable sports star, and this was reflected in him being made the face of Valvoline, taking the reins from the greatest Spruiker of them all, John Laws.
Here is a list of endorsements that he is said to earn and what they are estimated to be worth a year:
-
Valvoline: $250,000
-
Kookaburra: $350,000
-
Rexona: $200,000 – $250,000
-
Pura Milk and Swisse Vitamins: $300,000
-
Adidas: $150,000
-
Atari: $100,000
-
Channel 9: $200,000
-
Legends Memorabilia: $100,000
A lot of pressure being the captain of Australia, but not bad work if you can get it. To me he’s worth every cent!
