The August issue of FHM magazine has named Amanda Beard as the world’s sexiest athlete. With photos like those featured in the magazine, it’s hard to argue. And not only is she a pretty face, she also makes a ton of dough: “Amanda gets a cool $15,000 per speaking engagement. She has signed a $1 million contract to advertise Speedo’s Axcelerate line. Throw in endorsement deals with Oroweat Bread, Red Bull and Penta water, and a signature line of fragrance products, and Amanda can earn up to $100 million by 2010.” The rest of the article is your standard FHM/Maxim ‘oooh she’s hot and not boring’ fluff.
