Simone Biles

It is amazing to see what Simone Biles has achieved at her age. She is now the most decorated gymnast in the history of the United States! She has earned the title of the all-around champion five times over the years. At the age of six, she gave gymnastics a shot. Two years later, she started to train full-time. Even though she remains active in the sport, she said that her plan was to retire after the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. She has explained that competing has a huge “emotional drain” on her. Her current career earnings total $750,000, but she has $2 million to her name through various endorsement deals.

Kobe Bryant

At the beginning of 2020, everyone was shocked by the sudden death of Kobe Bryant. Together with his daughter Gigi and a few other companions, he died in a chopper crash. The 41-year-old Lakers star has inspired millions across the globe. He played twenty seasons with the team from the mid-‘90s up to 2016. He earned $323 million on the paint, but he boosted his net worth a lot. This is partly due to Kobe Inc, his own company. He also shelled out $6 million for a ten percent stake in Bodyarmor SuperDrink. It was a good idea as he saw $200 million in returns. He was worth $500 million at the time of his death.
