It's no different than athletes getting opportunities to be headliners at memorabilia sales, where they get show up money and additional cash for signing their name and allowing pictures to be taken with them. The difference is, the athlete will sign an agreement to make so many appearances a year, and the job he'd do is spelled out.It works just as well with oil millionaires who are looking to get others to invest in their projects, or to get their foot in the door on someone else's projects. Essentially the athlete is considered a salesman and gets paid accordingly as a sales rep.There are always ways to beat the system, and nobody does it better than the people in oil. I know, firsthand, how they work. They like to spend their money, not pay it out in taxes, and they are extremely creative in how they handle it.</blockquote>
