Lance Armstrong
Back in the day, Lance Armstrong was thought to be among the greatest cyclists we have ever seen. Sadly, his titles were stripped from 1998 onward. Despite this, he remains a big name in the sports industry. He now has a net worth of $50 million, but he made more than $125 million as a cyclist before he officially retired in 2011. In 1992, he started to cycle with the Motorola team and went on to accumulate various awards and wins. He now has a podcast and talks about sports every now and then.
Joe Louis
This boxing star is now considered one of the greatest boxers in history! Joe Louis had an incredible championship reign of 140 months. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, the powerhouse kicked off his pro career in 1934. He lasted nearly two decades in the sport and made $4.6 million during that period of time. Sadly, he only saw around $800,000 of it thanks to the handler’s fee. In 2008, HBO Sports released a documentary on his life. Check it out! It is called Joe Louis: America’s Hero Betrayed.
