athletes have much more exposure, but i would guess stars makes 10-15 times as much money as nike for every person that is persuaded into choosing their brand

I can't see any relevance to your statement above and why it means that 7 million would seem reasonable. Nike has over 16 billion in income and 7 billion in gross profit per year, you think Stars makes that much gross? Marginal revenue generated on a per custiomer basis is worthless when comparing two entirely different entities and then trying to use that measurement as a means of comparative compensation.

All that being true that doesn't meant that people aren't being overpaid every day all over the world. Wouldn't surprise me if he got 7 million plus perks, just that there is no way it was a great business decision if he did.
