Well this is rather interesting you would think Bolt would be alot more wealteir than he is, and the highest earning Olympic athlete but he's not. Especially since so many of his fans argue that he is the world most famous athlete, but perhaps his nationally hinders him truly earning is true value. Track is the more global sport, but Phelps is very much big deal obviously. Might be a hard pill for track fans to swallow. I can't stress how important nationally is,it took Rodger Federer years and double digit slams to finally surpass Andy Roddick in tennis endorsements.

The site says "net worth" i.e his assets : (cash, house(s) cars(s)) minus his liabilities : mortgages, loans, etc. .
His annual earnings were reportedly (by Forbes $20.3M) so if he can earn that or more over the next few years and save and invest a good percentage of it he could increase his net worth significantly...Peter R

hmm didn't know this guy was Jamaican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Masterson. This espn article http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7...-espn-magazine has him as the highest paid Jamaican athlete, but it's clearly wrongComment

I can see how they can reasonably estimate their earnings but I always wonder about how accurate the net worth figures are."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment
