George Foreman
The younger generation may know Foreman more for his namesake indoor grill than as a boxer. Since teaming up with household-products maker Salton in 1995, the former world heavyweight champion has helped sell almost 100 million George Foreman Grills. That's not all he has hawked. Now 59, Foreman sold the rights to his name to his grill-making partner for $137.5 million in 1999.
