How Rich Are These Famous Winter Olympians?
No. 1 on the list is worth $60 million.
There was a time when the Olympics was a competition reserved only for the world’s top amateurs. Today, basketball stars and other millionaire professionals treat the Games as an offseason side hustle. Even so, many of the richest winter Olympians earned their fortunes without the benefit of big-time salaries from in-demand professional leagues like the NBA.
Using data from CelebrityNetWorth, GOBankingRates identified the richest athletes ever to compete in the Winter Games.
Although they’re scattered all over the world, many of the richest winter Olympians are from right here in America. Many are figure skaters, while others are skiers, snowboarders or bobsledders. All achieved Olympic glory at least once and then found a way to make it pay through endorsement deals, stints in professional circuits, appearances on TV or in the movies, or just through good, old-fashioned social media branding.
Read on to meet the richest Olympic athletes from the Winter Games.
