ESPN listed the top earners by sport and by country today. You can check it out if you look at ESPN for NBA playoff news (and only NBA playoff news) today. There are a few NHL players who make the most money of any athlete from their country. What might they be doing with their money? I am going to go ahead and speculate.
Thomas Vanek, Austria: Bankrolling a manhunt, looking for what happened to his game in the second half of the season.
Craig Adams, Brunei: No time to spend the money. Spending too much of his time explaining where Brunei s, and that he was actually raised in Calgary.
Mikko Koivu, Finland: Anti-depressents (Finland has a high suicide rate, one of the highest in the world. Also, playing for the Wild has to bring you down).
Nik Antropov, Kazakhstan: Every copy of Borat ever made so you don’t ever see it.
Ilya Bryzgalov, Russia: Telescopes, books on philosophy, anti-psychotic medication
Zdeno Chara, Slovakia: Lawyers on retainer in Montreal. Really large shirts.
