A. I remember when it was a big deal for a cowboy to cross the million dollar mark in earnings, it still is, but inevitably the new 'big club' to join is the 2 million dollar club.

The eight rodeo competitors that have made over $2 million in career earnings are:

Roy Cooper (Was the first man to cross the mark in 2000).
Joe Beaver
Fred Whitfield
Dan Mortensen
Billy Etbauer
Tee Woolman
Trevor Brazile (Is the youngest man to cross the mark at 29).
Cody Ohl (Reached August 8, 2006)

Who's next to join?
Rich Skelton. Expect to see him get the keys to the company jet by the end of this year (2006).

Now I don't want to be greedy, but I really hope we see a 3 million dollar club. And with the talent level of these 21st century cowboys and cowgirls- we'll see it.
