55-Year-Old Bobby Bonilla Will Receive His Annual Payment Of $1,193,248
From The Mets Today
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!
Like every player on the New York Mets, Bobby Bonilla receives a large paychec
k
every July for their services on the diamond. Only difference here? Bobby
Bonilla doesn’t play for the Mets and hasn’t given them his services in
decades.
跟每個梅子球員一樣 今天Bobby Bonilla從梅子領到一張薪水支票
唯一的差別是他不為梅子打球很多年了
Every July 1, the Mets pay a 55-year-old retired player of theirs a whopping
$1,193,248 due to the more infamously, arguably greatest sports contract ever
negotiated.
每年的7/1 梅子必須付給這位退休金戰士 1.2M 這是史上最特別的合約之一
The deal originated from the Mets owing Bonilla $5.9 million for the 2000
season, but instead of paying the slugger that money, the team negotiated with
his agent to pay him later, attaching an 8 percent annual interest rate to
deferred money. The first payout of the money came on July 1, 2011, and the
Mets have been paying the same amount every July 1 since, and will until the
year 2035, meaning that original $5.9 million turned into $29.8 million for
Bonilla.
這個合約的來源必須追朔到到2000年 當時高層決定不要付給Bobby 5.9M的薪水
決定延後付款加上8%的複利
從2011開始付要一路付到2035年 而當年的5.9M最終會變成29.8M
Bonilla retired at the end of the 2001 season.
Bobby2001年底退休
