John John Florence Is The Highest Paid Surfer In The World

Not only that, but Florence’s contract with Nike-owned Hurley is reportedly the biggest-ever signed in the history of the sport. He’s got a deal through the end of 2024 worth more than $30 million altogether, and in 2018 his Hurley contract along with much smaller endorsement deals with brands Nixon, Futures, Pyzel, and newcomers Yeti and Electric brought him $4,770,000. That’s good news for him, since Florence spent much of 2018 confined to land due to an injury, with Hurley still electing to pay out the full value of his contract (an unusual arrangement for a pro athlete endorsement deal)....

Lil Wayne Is Suing His Former Attorney For Overcharging Him Wants 20 Million

Wayne says he paid Sweeney a ten percent cut for every “deal” that the lawyer helped close.
