"How so? Being a billionarie athlete is..."
I've always thought the paychecks of athletes and celebrities are disproportionate to the rest of reality. Obviously the guy is talented... but he's made so much money by being great at playing golf. Fucking golf. It's a luxury to begin with.
A kid in Malawi (

) built windmills out of garbage to power his village. Now he's trying to spread it to the rest of his country. I'm damn sure he won't be earning $1,000,000,000 anytime soon, but I would rate his contributions to society as far higher than Tiger Woods's.
