Despite retiring from the sport after punching a shark in the nose on live TV, Champion surfer Mick Fanning is still making a fortune in deals.
Surfing magazine Stab has released its top 10 earners for 2018, ranking Mick Fanning third - even though he no longer competes.
The 37-year-old earned $2.85 million from sponsorships last year, including large deals from Red Bull, Mercedes, and Rip Curl.

Surfing magazine Stab has released its top ten earners for 2018 in the sport and Mick Fanning comes in at number three - even though he no longer competes
'Mick's days as a top tier competitive surfer may have ceased, but his days as one of the most pertinent and recognisable faces in Australian culture and global surfing have not. Expect to see him sticking around in this list until he's well into his 40s,' the surfing magazine said of his placing.
Fanning also has a few business ventures of his own, including a brand of beer that he brews at the Balter Brewing Company with mates and fellow Gold Coast surfers Joel Parkinson, Josh Kerr, and Bede Durbidge.
Fanning was born in Penrith, the youngest of five children, with three older brothers and an older sister who was tasked with looking after the boys when their parents were away.
After his parents separated, he moved around NSW with his mother and siblings.
Finally, at age 12, they settled on the Gold Coast and he began to take surfing seriously.
In 2015, Fanning (pictured) punched a shark, thought to be a great white, in nose after it swam up behind him and pulled him off his board by his leg strap at Jeffries Bay in South Africa
Friend and fellow surfer Julian Wilson (pictured), who came in just behind Fanning on the surfing rich list at number four with $2.84 million, was hailed a hero at the time for paddling his board toward his friend as he battled the shark
Fanning's career prizemoney totals more than $2.5 million, less than the amount he earned away from the sport just last year, despite him winning three world surfing titles in 2007, 2009, and 2013.

Friend and fellow surfer Julian Wilson, who came in just behind Fanning on the surfing rich list at number four with $2.84 million, was hailed a hero at the time for paddling his board toward his friend as he battled the shark.
The incident was broadcast and has etched its way into surfing folklore – even more so considering he returned the next year and won the same competition.
'For me, I felt like I had unfinished business there… I wanted to go back and just right the wrong, and once I did that it was a huge weight off my shoulders personally,' Fanning said at the time.
Fellow Australian Stephanie Gilmore was the only female to make it onto the list at number nine, earning $1.3 million in endorsements and more than $300,000 in prize money.
The current female world title holder, Gilmore has deals with Roxy, Sanitarium, Audi, and Breitling
Number one on the list is Hawaiian born John John Florence who, at just 26-years-old, earned over $5.3 million in endorsement and prize money last year.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

The 37-year-old...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
