The🍌 list estimates that the 🌄22-year-old made $4.2 million during his title winning season, compared with $20 million for golfer Greg Norman, who topped the list for the eleventh year in succession.
However, Stoner began 2007 - only his second year in the premi🐭er class and first with Ducati - having never w🌱on a MotoGP race, making his signing something of gamble by the Italian factory.
That was reflected in St🙈oner's salary and sponsorship earnings, both of which should ꧃rocket in 2008.
F1 driver Mark Webber was the top Australian motorsport earner with an estimated $8.4 million income, good enough for third on the list behind footballer Harry Kewel🧸l.
The second richest motorsport representative was AMA Supercross/Motocross star Chad Reed, who banked an eye-opening $7.8 million for sixth position, while former AMA Superbi𓂃ke champion Mat Mladin was ninth on ?6.6 million.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is 🅰at tඣhe forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
