Lamar Jackson (24) – $4 Million
The American quarterback Lamar Jackson was picked in Round 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft and didn’t take long to show what he’s made of. In 2019, he rocked the NFL by landing the NFL MVP, Pro Bowl, and Bert Bell awards. He plays for the Baltimore Ravens since he got to the big league.
Jackson collected a reported fortune of $4 million by making around $3 million per year with his very-first NFL contract. But the best is yet to come: in 2021, the Baltimore Ravens activated the fifth-year contract option, and Jackson’s salary was raised to an astounding $23 million per year!
Denise Richards (50) – Estimated $ 12 Million
Denise Richards, an American actress, first started as a model. Her good looks ensured that she got good roles in certain films and on television. She is arguably infamously known for her role as Kelly Van Ryan on “Wild Things.”
Aside from the myriad roles that this led to, both on TV and film (though never the stage), she also published a memoir, “The Real Girl Next Door.” It was a New York Times Bestseller! This justifies her high net worth of $12 million.
Derek Jeter (47) – $200 Million
Derek Jeter is a legendary baseball player who is renowned as one of the greatest Short Stops in the history of Major League Baseball. He spent his entire 20-year career at the New York Yankees and was an important part of the Five World Series title the franchise won during his career.
Jeter was so revered that in 2001 he signed a lucrative 10-year contract worth $189 million. For his final season in 2014, he negotiated a $12 million one-year extension. Since retiring he has moved into business and owns the Miami Marlins MLB franchise. In April 2021 Jeter became a board member of Rockefeller Capital Management.
