"Selig also became rich, stupendously rich, as commissioner. Not only did he end up selling the Brewers for more than $200 million thanks to a new stadium and revenue sharing, but he turned the commissioner’s job into a princely position. In 2001, he got a new contract paying him $14.5 million a year through 2006. This is followed by a three-year extension averaging $18 million a year. In 2009, when he earns more than $18 million, 'only 10 players will take home more than the game’s commissioner.' By becoming commissioner and consolidating power, Selig will have gone from making low six figures as a minority owner of an impoverished franchise to 'an estimated net worth in excess of $200 million.'”
