How Warne made $1.25m in one phone call

Warne, who would go on to amass a staggering $50 million fortune, outdid himself in 1999 with a phone call to his UK-based agent Michael Cohen., Warne wrote about the bidding war for his services in English county cricket.

At the time of his death, Warne worked as a commentator for Sky Sports and Fox Cricket. In 2018 it was reported he was the top-paid member of Fox Sport’s cricket commentary team. While his exact pay was undisclosed, it’s believed he was getting paid above the $7000 per day rate he earned at Channel 9.

While the specifics around cost have never been disclosed, Warne also lent his support to products, services and brands like VB Beer, Pepsi, McDonalds, pasta sauce brand Leggos, SPC Baked Beans, Just Jeans, Nike, Oakley sunglasses, eBay, hair loss treatment program Advanced Hair Studio, Marshall car batteries, fantasy Big Bash League game SuperCoach and Message On Hold — a service which provided music or messages for callers who were put on hold.
