| All of Beckham's PSG Salary Will Go to Charity Posted by WarSlamEagle My 10,000th post goes out to one of my favorite players of all-time and his promise to donate his entire salary from PSG to a children's charity. He knows he has enough money already.  on 1/31 at 11:10 amLove him, hate him, don't care...that's awesome. Reply • Back to Top |
| Say what you want about Beckham and his "image", but on the pitch he busts his arse and always always gives 100%. Reply • Back to Top |
| I'd be more impressed if it went to me... (good for the children) Reply • Back to Top |
| Props to becks Reply • Back to Top |
| That's awesome......if true. Reply • Back to Top |
| ill never get the Beckham hate he does his job as well as anyone. you dont luck into 100+ caps with england, or play for arguably the best or highest profile teams in now 5 different leagues. and while he obviously has ahigh profile life, you know he loves the game and would play as long as his body will allow it Reply • Back to Top |
| 11.21am Joey Barton reacts to Beckham transfer on Twitter: 'He'll be great for French Football. Although, he'll remain 2nd best/best looking, Englishman in France. That'll hurt his confidence!' / Reply • Back to Top |
| Just curious... It's a 5 month contract, right? Is the value out there? Not hating, but "donates" salary I guess sounds a little more impressive than writes £2mm check... I think its great that those kids will get whatever the amount... Reply • Back to Top |
| So is there any chance he's doing it because of the taxes? How much did he stand to gain? His public image took a huge boost for donating. I'm not saying he did any of this and good for him for donating. I was just curious. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: definitely, because I'm sure he could just cut a check for the value of the contract... Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah, but he said today that he's committed to PSG past this five months...don't know if that means re-signing as a player, but... Reply • Back to Top |
| OK, I'll be interested to see if he donates his salary beyond this initial contract... not that he has to or should... Reply • Back to Top |
| Grant Wahl just shed some light. The taxes are 75% for salary over 1 million. So let's just say he makes 1 million for 5 months, after taxes he donates 250, 000. So his public image takes a huge boost while he donates an amount of money that he won't really notice. Again, I'm not saying this was his motive, but I wouldn't be surprised. Reply • Back to Top |
| it certainly makes it an easier decision Reply • Back to Top |
| France has outrageous taxes. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Just one of the many reasons that the French suck. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: That is assuming charitable donations aren't tax deductible like they are here in the US. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Actually I was pointing out what it would look like if he didn't donate. So even if the Charity gets the whole million, it's not costing Beckham as much. ETA:Also, remember, I'm just trolling. Every post. So you shouldn't feed me. AMIRITE? This post was edited on 1/31 at 1:13 pm Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
