Been a few threads here about 10X Surfing World Champion Kelly Slater and I thought I'd add this little nugget

" After winning his 10th world surfing title last week, Kelly Slater was given the option of a multi-million dollar bonus or an ownership stake in Quiksilver by his longtime sponsor.
While the bonus was rumored to be in the neighborhood of $10 million, Slater chose a 3 percent stake in the company, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The surf company's market cap is about $730 million, so Slater's stake is worth $22 million.
Slater, 38, has been a lead Quiksilver endorser for 20 years – the company says it's grown 1000 percent in that time – so it's a nice gesture from the surfer/skater apparel king. "

I hope to catch up with Kelly when he comes home to Cocoa Beach next week for the dedication and unveiling of a huge bronze statue of him that will be placed on A1A right off the beach. Here's a shot from a few years back at a surf contest in Cocoa Beach.
