==George Foreman Grill== {{Main|George Foreman Grill}} [[File:George foreman grill.jpg|thumb|A George Foreman grill]] When Foreman came back from retirement, he argued that his success was due to his healthy eating. He was approached by [[Russell Hobbs, Inc|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.<ref name="BiographyChannel">{{cite web |url=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biographies/george-foreman.html |title=George Foreman |publisher=Thebiographychannel.co.uk |date=2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091208151432/http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biographies/george-foreman.html |archive-date=December 8, 2009 |access-date=October 14, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Although Foreman never confirmed exactly how much he earned from the endorsement, Salton paid him $138 million in 1999 for the right to use his name. Prior to that, he was paid about 40% of the profits on each grill sold (earning him $4.5 million a month in payouts at its peak), yielding an estimated total of over $200 million just from the endorsement through 2011, substantially more than he earned as a boxer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_51/b3913093.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041216061257/http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_51/b3913093.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 16, 2004 |title=George Foreman Grill. |work=[[Business Week]] |access-date=November 3, 2011}}</ref>
