Simone Biles – $10 Millions
While she didn’t start out as one of the “Fierce Five” that swept the 2012 Olympics, by that time Simone Biles had already earned some $2 million in prize money and sponsorships. Her career as well as her net worth continued to climb by the time Rio 2016 came around, accumulating by that time $4 million.
Biles’ arrival in Tokyo was one of the most anticipated and everything that happened around her outside the sporting arena made many brands want to associate her image with the message she conveyed. We don’t know if it was a premeditated decision, but we do know that it generated a net worth of $10 million.
