Michael Phelps
You are wrong if you thought that swimming is an easy sport. Mind you, it takes a lot of discipline and strength to excel in it. Michael Phelps is now the most decorated Olympic athlete. He racked up 28 medals before he retired for good in 2016. Born in Baltimore, he has is now a mental health advocate. In 2019, he shared this with USA Today: “Helping people means so much more to me than winning any medal.” He made $100 million as a swimmer, and he currently has a net worth of $80 million.

Serena Williams
Most tennis players retired once they hit their thirties, although others keep at it for as long as they can. We are glad that Serena Williams is still going strong! The sport would not be the same without her. Not only is she one of the most popular athletes at the moment, but she is one of the greatest as well. In the past, she has worked with IBM, Gatorade, Pepsi, and more. She currently works as the Chief Sporting Officer of Aston Martin. Aside from that, she is on the board of directors of SurveyMonkey as well. We can see why she has a net worth of $200 million even though her career earnings only total $92 million.
