Beckham's shirts bring in $1,000,000

[MLS_stats]

David Beckham has already brought €500,000 ($964,000) into Real Madrid coffers, with the club selling out of about 8000 shirts bearing his name and number in record time.

It was impossible to buy a No 23 shirt yesterday, with both club shops in the Spanish capital confirming they had sold out on the first day.

. . . At €78 ($150.52) each, that would mean Real had taken €624,000 within hours of presenting the former Manchester United star.

Keep in mind that the aticle is from New Zealand and that the dollar amounts listed are in NZ dollars. For the US dollar, the exchange rate is about $1.15 per Euro.

Correct.

8,000 shirts x $US 90 = $720,000.
