You quoted Vick's salary that's why sports figures are being discussed.
These days I don't think of a person that makes $250K/year as being rich but I guess it's has to do with perception. My perception is that sports figures make way too much but that's the fault of the fans.

The president may only make $400K/year but look at the perks!
