What are Roger Clemens’ sources of income?

Clemens' baseball career had been the key source of income for him ever since he started his career by landing a spot in the Boston Red Sox in the MLB draft in 1983. After the Red Sox, he played for the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Yankees, the Houston Astros, and Kansas Stars and made astonishing records being one of the highest-paid MLB pitchers. Clemens earned $150 million from MLB, and bagged $10-$20 million from endorsement deals with brands like companies like Coca-Cola and Autonation. But, these contracts were terminated due to Clemens' involvement in a steroid controversy. He was accused by the court of being an avid user of anabolic steroids in the Mitchell Report. After a long legal battle, Clemens was found not guilty in 2012.
