Usain Bolt

 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has an estimated net worth of $90 million. At his peak, Usain Bolt was the fastest human on earth and one of the highest-paid athletes around the world in particular during Olympics seasons. Usain was paid between $20-$30 million each year in the years prior to the Olympics. He is the most highly-paid track and field athlete of all time. You might guess that the bulk of his income came through endorsements, not prize money for competitions. Puma was the German shoe maker, offered Usain $9 million annually to wear their shoes on and off the track. Contracts with Visa, Nissan, and Gatorade brought Usain additional money. Bolt's autobiography, a bestseller and a bestseller, was released in 2010 by Harper Collins. The advance included a multi-million dollar advance. Usain also receives appearance fees that range from $250,000 to as high as $500,000 for participation in track and field events throughout the world. In the course of his Olympic career Usain won eight gold medals. He holds a number of world records, including the 100 meter (9.58 seconds) and the 200 meters (19.19).
