Today is George Foreman’s Birthday! Today he is 71 years old! George Edward Foreman is an American former professional boxer who competed between 1969 and 1997. He is a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Outside of boxing, he is also an author and entrepreneur. You may know him from the George Foreman grill. After a challenging childhood, Foreman took up boxing. This was his career for a while then he retired. When Foreman came back from retirement, he argued that his success was due to his healthy eating. He was approached by Salton, Inc., which was looking for a spokesperson for its fat-reducing grill. As of 2009, the George Foreman Grill has sold over 100 million units. So it is estimated he has made a total of over $200 million from the endorsement, substantially more than he earned as a boxer.
