Former Vodafone Fiji Bati and Kangaroos fullback Jarryd Hayne is expected to earn millions in endorsement deals following his successful transition to NFL and his three‑year deal with the San Francisco 49ers is worth $FJD 3.44M.
This means his first pay day this week will be $FJD 55,693.
Hayne will continue to get paid this for the next 17 weeks.
However if he is cut by the 49ers at any stage that will stop, but he will still walk away with a minimum of $FJD 250,303 in guarantee and bonus.
The 27-year-old says it is not about the money, it never was.
His base salary for his rookie season is $FJD946,799, increasing in his second year to $FJD1.16M and $FJD1.35million in his third year.
The 49ers will play their first NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings next Wednesday.
