Usain Bolt

 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is a net worth in excess of $90 million. Usain Bolt, when he was at his peak was the fastest athlete on earth and one of the most highly-paid athletes in particular during the Olympics. In the years before the Olympics, Usain earned between $20 and $30 million each year. He is, by far, the highest-paid track and field athlete of all time. It's possible that the majority of his income came from endorsementsand not prizes for competitions. His biggest paycheck came from the German shoe maker Puma which gave Usain nine million dollars a year to wear their shoes all the time, in and out of the track. Deals with Visa, Nissan, and Gatorade resulted in Usain additional money. Bolt's autobiography, which is a best-selling book is published in 2010 by Harper Collins. The advance included a multi-million-dollar advance. Usain could also receive appearance fees of up $500,000 to compete in track and field competitions around the globe. Usain has been awarded eight gold medals in his Olympic career. He holds a number of world records, including 100 meters (9.58 seconds) and 200 meters (19.19).
