A small army of accountants, financial advisers, marketing experts and other support troops are employed to manage his money, his personal needs and his vastly lucrative image. Borg has not quite reached the dizzying heights of Arnold Palmer, the top earner in all of sport, who has made roughly $60 million in his career from golf and business ventures. "But he's getting closer," says Mark McCormack, founder and president of Cleveland-based International Management Group, which choreographs the schedules and handles the financial affairs of more than 400 athletes...
