Commissioner’s Salary Info Released

March 12, 2008

Last fiscal year, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig earned $14.5 million, about the same amount that he earned during the previous fiscal year.

Selig is easily the highest paid commissioner of all the major American sports. By comparison, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earned a pro-rated salary of $11.2 million, NBA Commissioner David Stern earned an estimated salary of $10 million, and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman earned $5.9 million in the NHL’s last fiscal year.

After hearing this news, MLW Commissioner Shaun Breen shamefully announced his salary was even less than Gary Bettman’s. While exact dollar figures weren’t released, it’s estimated that Breen earned about $5.84 million less than Bettman, and $14.44 million less than Bud Selig. With the exception of a few dollars, all of Breen’s earnings came from his day job, not his MLW Commissioner resposibilities.
