RIP Big George Foreman

[dave28]

I thought he was older tbh.

I wonder how much money he made from his grill. Those were everywhere at one point and according to wiki he sold over 100 million of them!

He made serious money from that Grill i think.

Google says he was worth about 300 million, most of that being from the Grill launched in 1994.

RIP to a great boxer, and in my opinion a nicer man than some of his rivals.

That long ago for the grill? I always thought it was an early 2000's product.

I might be wrong but i think the story goes that the grill was around before 1994 but nobody much was interested and was under the name short-order grill.

Then in 1994 Foreman was the oldest man to ever win the heavyweight championship and they got him to put his name to it and to tell the world that his health eating was the reason for his win. Turns out that idea was a Gold mine.

There were newer designs released through the years.
