Roger made $2.4 million for winning the US Open Series and the US Open. He won about $1.1 million for the Australian Open, $693,500 for being a finalist at the French Open, and $1.4 for Wimbledon. That totals $5,593,500 (some rounding applied.) All I'm saying is that by comparing annual incomes this man who is the greatest athlete of our time makes less than Luke Walton only if he wins basically everything he attempts. I know Latrell Sprewell feels me on this. He's also wondering how Roger could support a family on these meager wages. Thank you Gillette, Nike and Rolex for helping Roger out in his time of need.
UPDATE: According to Wikipedia Roger's career prize money totals $35,640,078. Peanuts! If they didn't throw in those last $78 Roger would be on the streets right now.
