David Beckham will be earning 500 times more than his teammates at LA Galaxy
In a frank statement, the LA Galaxy’s midfielder Peter Vangenas said that David Beckham’s multi-million pound contract has sparked resentment amongst his new team-mates. Beckham is due to arrive in the United States in the middle of the year.
Vagenas, has been with the team for 6 years and represented the United States at the 2000 Olympics.
His wage is about 63,000 pounds a year. That is already more than RM300,000; and most Malaysians will earn less in an entire lifetime. But that is less than what Beckham earns in a week.
Vangenas said, “On the one hand more power to him and on the other you say ‘why can’t I be getting some of that?”
Beckham’s contract means he will be earning 500 times more each week than most of his Galaxy team-mates.
Talk about disparity!
