Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole Billy Beane GM salary thing. You know, the guy from Moneyball? Yeah, that dude. I was curious, how much is this brainy baseball guy making?
First, I went on this wild goose chase online, checking out all these different websites. They were throwing around all sorts of numbers, it was kind of a mess. But I kept at it, reading through a bunch of articles and stuff.
After piecing it all together, I found out that this guy’s net worth is around $20 million. Pretty impressive, right? Apparently, he’s not just about baseball. He’s got his fingers in some other businesses, too, like real estate.
But here’s the juicy part. His yearly salary with the Oakland A’s is about $3 million. Can you imagine? Three million bucks a year! That’s like winning the lottery every year.
- Then I stumbled upon this story about how, a while back, the Boston Red Sox tried to woo him over with a fat offer, something like $12.5 million. He turned it down! I mean, who turns down that kind of money?
- It got me thinking, if he had taken that Red Sox gig, he could be even richer now. But maybe he just really loves Oakland. Or maybe he’s got a master plan we don’t know about.
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty interesting deep dive. Shows that there’s some serious cash in the world of baseball, even if you’re not swinging a bat. What I learned is how much Billy Beane is making and how much his net worth is.
What do you guys think?
Does $3 million a year sound about right for a top-notch GM? Let me know in the comments.
