A One Billion Dollar Man!
Lewis Hamilton of the Formula One racing league finished in the 5th position in a race this weekend. This allowed him to clinch the F1 title securing a win by one point. This should catapult him to become the first ever one billion dollar sportsman ever. He will pass Tiger Woods as the top earner in the history of sport. Tiger was set to earn the one billion dollar mark not until 2010.
Hamilton's contract with McLaren , is worth an estimated £75 million over five years and a sponsorship deal with Reebok adding another £20 million.

All of this will push his career earnings past 500 million.
