George Foreman, though not the inventor of the Foreman Grill, capitalized on its branding, earning him more than his boxing career. Invented by Michael Boehm in the 90s, sales skyrocketed when Foreman, with his charisma and familiar persona, became its face. Foreman earned $8 million a month at his peak and sold the rights to his name in 1999 for $113.7 million, far surpassing his biggest boxing payday. His success story exemplifies the power of branding over invention. Foreman's legacy isn't just in the ring but also in kitchens worldwide.
