Alright, so you wanna know about this Verlander fella, eh? And how much money he’s got? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s a whole lotta dough! They say he’s worth somethin’ like 200 million dollars. Two hundred million! Can ya believe it? That’s more money than anyone in our whole darn town has ever seen, I reckon.
Now, how’d he get all that money? Well, he’s a baseball pitcher, see? Throws that little ball real hard. Plays for them big teams, like the Houston Astros and now the New York Mets. They pay him a heap of money to throw that ball. I heard he just signed a contract for somethin’ like 86 million dollars for just two years! That’s, like, 43 million a year! My head’s spinnin’ just thinkin’ about it.
- He plays baseball good.
- They pay him lots of money.
- He’s got a contract for millions and millions of dollars.
They say he’s one of the best pitchers around. Won all sorts of awards and stuff. World Series this, World Series that. I don’t know much about baseball, but I know winning means big bucks. And this Verlander fella, he’s been winnin’ a lot.
And it ain’t just the baseball money, ya know. He gets money from other places too. They call ’em “endorsements.” That’s when companies pay him to say their stuff is good. Like them fancy cars or them sporty clothes. He’s a handsome fella, I hear, so I guess that helps. His wife, she’s a looker too. A model and an actress, they say. She’s got her own money, a good 20 million or so. They’re a rich pair, them two.
So, yeah, 200 million dollars. That’s a lot of chicken feed. Makes ya wonder what he does with it all. Probably got a big house, maybe even two or three. Fancy cars, the kind that go real fast. And I bet he eats good too, not like us folks eatin’ beans and cornbread most nights. He probably has steak every night if he wants it. Maybe even lobster!
I saw on the TV once, these rich folks, they got folks to do everything for ’em. Cook their food, clean their house, even drive ’em around. Maybe Verlander’s got folks like that too. Wouldn’t that be somethin’? Not havin’ to lift a finger for nothin’. Just sittin’ around collectin’ that big ol’ baseball money.
But you know what? Money ain’t everything. Sure, it can buy ya fancy things and make life easier, but it can’t buy ya happiness. I hope that Verlander fella is happy, with all that money. I hope he’s a good fella too, not one of them stuck-up rich types. But shoot, with 200 million dollars, I guess he can be whatever he wants to be.
Anyways, that’s the long and short of it. Verlander, he’s got a whole heap of money, thanks to that baseball arm of his. And good for him, I say. He worked hard for it, I reckon. Throwin’ that ball all them years, gotta be tough on the arm. So yeah, 200 million dollars. That’s what they say. A whole lotta money, for sure.
Now, I gotta go feed the chickens. Talkin’ about all this money makes me hungry, even if it ain’t for steak and lobster.
