Maria Sharapova: Sony Ericsson's New Brand Ambassador

If you've forgotten, tennis superstar Maria Sharapova used to be the endorser of Motorola for the magenta RAZR and the white PEBL. Sharapova has apparently jumped ship to become the new ambassador of Sony Ericsson. Sharapova has signed a four year contract with the company which includes being proactive in designing Sony Ericsson's future handsets and accessories aside from doing brand promotions.

"It is really exciting to be working with a cool brand like Sony Ericsson which has such a strong reputation in the entertainment industry," Maria Sharapova said. "Even though most people know me as a tennis player, I have so many passions beyond the sport like fashion, music, film and design; which Sony Ericsson and I are going to be exploring together through our partnership."

Maria sure keeps getting richer by the minute.
