ESPN.com has a list of the highest paid competitors by sport which lists Joey Chestnut’s 2011 earnings as $205,000, the same value given in a ninemsn.au.com article earlier this year and represents a $20,000 decline from the $225,000 he reportedly earned in 2010.
It is surprising that Joey Chestnut’s overall earnings decreased from 2010 to 2011 when the sum of the public prizes he was awarded in those years increased from $32,500 to $43,000. $43,000 to $32,250. (A raise in the TooJay’s corned beef contest first prize from $5,000 to $12,500 was responsible for $7,500 of that increase.) The discontinuation of two 2010 exhibition series Joey Chestnut participated in, Jimmy John’s sandwich makers vs. eaters and competitions sponsored by Pepto Bismol in which Joey Chestnut faced a team of amateurs, might have been responsible for some of the decline.
Listings of Joey Chestnut’s results and public prizes in 2010 and 2011 follow after the jump.
