exactly... ducati had offered lorenzo €7 million ($9.3M, double his offer from yamaha)... you have to have a really good reason to turn down a $4.7M pay increase.
Things change.

Do the riders get money from the Sponsors like some of the other elite athletes do ?

Yup, hence the fact that Rossi is one of the top 5 paid athletes in the world.

look at my post above... they
did
offer the cash last year and he said "no thanks."
I remember that, but I think Hayden's performance on the bike has eased all those tensions.

Rossi probably won't go to F1.
His other passion is Rally car Racing.
There's a good chance when he leaves MOTOGP he will compete in Rally not any other form of auto racing.
He has experience having already run in several Rally events.
His master plan a few years ago was to ride MOTOGP until he was 31-32 years old.
He's 31 now. His contract w, Yamaha is through 2010

He's way up there in earnings, but I don't think he's top-5:

with all the ties in that list, he receives the 5th highest compensation.

So if two guys tie for first, the third guy to cross the line gets second?
Anyways, I wasn't disputing the original point: he makes obscene amounts of money.

Unless you are worth a Billion like Tiger and get sued by his wife in the Divorce for $500,000,000.
Even still worth 1/2 a billion to think she could get a 1/2 a billion.
Incomprehensible
