Yelena Isinbayeva set nine world records in one year. She claims that she wants to buy a CLK, a flat and pay her manager. I am just wondering how much it is worth. It has to be lots and lots of money.

Probably not worth much at all. There isn't a very big fan base for the pole vault. It's anemic, even compared to the fan base for most running events (which is anemic compared to other sports)
You like the word "anemic" don't you?
Her contract includes a clause that says she gets $50000 for each world record (similar to the deal Bubka had). Therefore raise the WR a centimetre at a time.

that's pretty bad drafting of a contract if they let her break her record by so little each time and still get the money. good for her, though.
trust me.... if i broke a WR i would want a little bit more than a measly $50,000.
$50,000 x 9WR = $450,000
She would get much much more for things like:
a) Appearance Fees
b) Winning Events
c) Olympic Gold
d) Sponsors and the like...
Im taking a stab that she wouldve turned over more than $1million this year.
