[–] 1 point 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

A friend shared this a month or so ago and I haven't been able to check how accurate it is but apparently its soccer player wages in 1999:

Highest soccer earners in 1999

That was a lot of money at the time, but even adjusting for inflation it really doesn't seem to be the fuckoff money they get now

Edit: I read these as annual but leaving this here to showcase my folly

    I mean, that's per week, and after tax... Seems like a shitload of money to me.
