Professional gamer gets six-figure salary

[BJ_M]

JOHNATHAN WENDEL is now earning a six figure salary for playing computer games professionally.

According to happynews.com the 24-year-old, known by his nickname 'Fatal1ty', is earning bucket loads of cash playing computer games.

Not surprisingly he thinks that it is fun to play games for a living and getting up on Monday morning is very easy for him.

Wendel earns that much cash playing a circuit of games conventions. For example if he won the Cyberathlete Professional League World Tour Grand Finals that began yesterday he would get $150,000.

WendelHe made only $110,000 in 2000, his first pro year, and has been consistently earning a respectable salary built on play he considers work. This year, Wendel expects to make about $200,000 between winnings and flogging his own brand of products.

However, he only pays himself $15,000 a year and invests all his cash. He says that he does not have time to spend the cash because he is too dedicated and determined to be the best he doesnt have time indulge.

must only have a small weiner then as I'm pretty sure I'd be spending some of it especially on the girls

I just think some people don't know how to live when they have the money to spend

[BJ_M]

maybe he is "investing" in strip clubs ?

[BJ_M]

maybe also he doesnt want to pay the taxes in one chunk to the tax man and is using some wise income diversions ....

Yeah, now would be the time to do it for him. If I had been making that much money at age 24 I'd be putting aside some time to travel some more. Out of most anything you can spend your money frivolously on travel is probably the most rewarding (at least in my opinion). Of course investing isn't such a bad deal either.
