Bud Selig is the Highest Paid Commissioner in Sports; Also the Most Clueless and Inept
By Jason McIntyre
Bud Selig, MLB: $18.35 million
Roger Goodell, NFL: $11.2 million
David Stern, NBA: $10 million
There’s an interesting chart here about what the commissioners make in regard to CEOs of major companies with similar market caps. If you’re wondering, Selig makes more than just three players in the league.
Also worth noting: In 1990, MLB commish Fay Vincent made a mere $500,000. In 1990, the highest paid player in baseball was Rickey Henderson at $3 million. The highest paid player last year was A-Rod at $26 million for a season. Hmmmm.
