PSG signing David Beckham again proved himself a canny businessman with his move last week.
Former Manchester United and Real Madrid star Becks is donating his PSG salary, estimated at about £3m over a five-month contract, to a children's charity in Paris.
But analysts say that Beckham, who is already worth more than £160m, will still profit from massive image rights payments.
If Beckham had been paid a salary, he could have ended up being taxed by as much as 75 per cent by France's Socialist Government. But earnings from marketing are taxed at just 30 per cent, says the Daily Star Sunday.
