David Wright Nets $20.5 million From Sale of Vitamin Water Company

It's been pretty big news recently that the company that produces Vitamin Water, Glaceau, was recently sold to Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion dollars. The big news is that many of the professional sponsors believe in the company so much that they take a stake in the company rather than cash. "Well, the New York Post is reporting that David Wright of the New York Mets had a .5 percent stake in the company, which would make Wright's payment on the deal $20.5 million. Wright denied that he'd make that much, but sources tell us that out of all the players that took a stake -- David Ortiz, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brian Urlacher, Tracy McGrady -- Wright got the biggest chunk."
