7 of the richest skiers and snowboarders in the world – net worths, ranked: Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White make the list, but who’s dated Tiger Woods, and who has a not-so-secret musical talent?
- Athletes like Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White have achieved Olympic glory by dedicating themselves to hitting the slopes, reaching the pinnacles of their sport and cementing their place in history
- But high-profile sports careers lead to big business too, netting mega-millions for successful athletes through lucrative off-piste business deals and endorsements with the likes of Beats by Dre and Oakley
Those that reach the glittering heights of their careers also become sought after as brand ambassadors, leading to lucrative partnerships – and, after retiring, many go on to create successful brands related to their sport. All of this means just one thing: great runs on the slope can translate to big bucks in the bank.
But which skiers and snowboarders have made fortunes – and whose net worth is the biggest? Let’s take a closer look with the help of Celebrity Net Worth.
