Referees for the Super Bowl will be paid $173.00 a minute or roughly five grand for each half.
The Players -
Peyton Manning (Quarterback, Denver) - $16,167 a minute. One of the perks of being the best quarterback in football is being the highest paid player in the league. Manning earns as much in a two-minute drill as many Americans make all year.
Russell Wilson (Quarterback, Seattle) - $1,414 a minute. The Seahawks' second-year starter makes a little less than 9 percent of his counterpart's salary. And as if that doesn't sting, Russell will also earn $139 less per minute than his backup, Tarvaris Jackson.
