This Olympic Sport Has The Richest Athletes
Video Overview & Insights
Olympic athletes don’t typically make a lot of money, but that can change in a heartbeat. Olympic athletes who win gold can make millions thanks to lucrative endorsement deals. Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt became multi-millionaires practically overnight thanks to their record-breaking performances. Shaun White is worth $40 million and it’s all thanks to his performance on the half-pipe. The three-time gold medallist has his own clothing line and has even lent his name to a popular video game series. Skateboarding may be a new Olympic sport, but there’s no doubt the event will prove to be a financial windfall for future gold medalists. An Olympic gold medal in skateboarding could lead to a fortune as large as Tony Hawk’s. Olympic figure skaters can earn obscene amounts of money. Scott Hamilton, who won a gold medal at the 1984 winter Games in Sarajevo, has a net worth of $30 million. He’s not the only American figure skating legend to reach multi-millionaire status. Brian Boitano, who won gold at the 1988 winter Games in Calgary, has a net worth of $18 million. Alpine skiing has been one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics for decades, and the world’s best athletes can earn hefty sums barreling down the slopes. Gold-medalist Lindsey Vonn was earning $3 million a year at the height of her career thanks to deals with Under Armour, Head, Red Bull, Oakley, and Rolex. Bode Miller, whose net worth is $8 million, has won more medals than any other U.S. skier in history. Keep watching to see which Olympic sports make the most money.
Where is Niraj Chopra....??? He got $3M after winning Gold in Olympic 🙌🏻🙏🏻

@jaxcruz5615Winning in the olympics give you a chance to earn millions. Countries that wins often like usa ; gold medal prize is only $30-50k. While countries that rarely wins ; gold medal winning can be from 300-800k usd. The medal winning prize doesn’t make you a millionaire when you win. Its whoever sponsor you for the Commerical and endorsement deals
