 Mark Webber still has good reason to smile |
Despite narrowly missing out on the 2010 drivers’ title, Mark Webber has jumped to the top of the list of Australian sports earners.
Golfer Greg Norman was first in last year’s Rich List published by BRW magazine but has been removed from this year’s list due to the curtailment of his playing commitments.
"Norman still makes millions but almost all of his money comes from property development and other business deals," BRW said in a statement.
Webber was fourth on last year's list, but his estimated $13.4 million earned this season puts him ahead of NBL basketball player Andrew Bogut.
Bogut's earnings are listed as $12.6m, ahead of motocross rider Chad Reed ($7.5m), MotoGP's Casey Stoner ($6.8m), Premier League player Tim Cahill ($4.2m) and NASCAR driver Marcos Ambrose ($4.2m).
