Aussie swimmer Stephanie Rice has taken control of her business affairs at just 21. She will manage herself with the help
of a friend and plans to personally negotiate all endorsements and deals.
In a move which has surprised many, Rice walked away from her management company, International Quarterback, after deciding
its industry-standard 20 per cent commission was too much.
It was believed her mother, Raelene Clark, would take over the management role, but yesterday she said her daughter
would instead be "self-managing" her career and earnings, estimated at $800,000 a year.
Rice, the multiple medal-wining darling of Australia's Beijing Olympic team, has deals with Channel 7, Davenport underwear,
Sunrise rice, Speedo and Telstra.

girl and it's just gone too far now,''Rice said.
