Those grill earnings amounted to about $138 million by themselves, adding up at the time Foreman sold his interest in the company for a reported payout of $137.5 million cash and stock. The George Foreman Grill not only secured the financial freedom of the one-time richest man in sports history but even made him a household name outside boxing.

Foreman also started several clothing lines of his own, adding to the variety that now comprised all that was offered.
