Are you still dreaming about becoming a professional athlete?  SI.com has revealed the top money makers in professional sports with The Fortunate 50 List. If you really want to know, Tiger Woods is #1 on the list. He makes a jaw dropping $97,628,024 per year.  Endorsements comprise $87 million of his total salary.

It’s pretty obvious that winning tournaments is pocket change for Tiger. He’s destined to become the first pro athlete (if you even consider Golf a real sport) to make $100 Million Dollars a year. Fellow golf compatriot Phil Mickelson is a distant 2nd with $45,971,710.

Since I consider myself a closet NASCAR fan (Formula 1 is so dam boring these days), I looked to see if any race car drivers made the list. No real shocker here. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the top race car driver at #9. I personally feel he makes way more than $25,761,830 due to the fact he owns a big piece of the empire his father built (race car teams, merchandise, etc). However, Dale Jr. is not the highest paid driver in the world. This honor goes to F1 Ace, Michael Schumacher, at $80 million. The six time world champion is #1 on the international 20 List.

SI.com claims the average wealth of Pro athletes fell by $500,000 as compared to last year. What a pity eh?

My eBay whoring continues.  Thanks to Auction Sniper, I was able to purchase a Maxtor 300GB Shared Storage External Hard Drive NAS (H01R300) at a very good price.  Known as Network Attached Storage (NAS), this technology allows you to share and store data without using a extra computer.   It’s a perfect addition to any home or small business network.

Installation is simple and automatically sets up the shared storage drive to look like a local drive on your PC.  Another great feature is the two USB ports included on the drive to connect and share two USB printers, two additional external hard drives, or one of each.  I’ve made use of these ports by attaching my laser printer and an additional 300 GB external hardrive.  Now my home network features a print server and 600 GB of extra storage space.  Any computer on my network can easily access these drives or utilize the printer on a 100Base-T / 10Base-T Ethernet connection.

This solution may be a little expensive for price sensitive consumers but it remains a great addition for anyone looking to utilize network storage or print server functionality.  If your one of these individuals, perhaps you should check out the Maxtor 300GB Shared Storage External Hard Drive NAS (H01R300).
