TIGER WOODS – EST. $800 MILLION

When one says golf, Tiger Woods’ name will surely come to mind. The legendary athlete is one of the best golfers in the world. He maintains a long list of accolades under his belt, including 15 major professional tournaments and 81 PGA Tour wins.  During the peak of his career in 1996, the athlete has earned a total of $1.5 billion, covering various income streams, including brand endorsements with big brands such as Nike, Gatorade, and American Express and in the event and show appearances.

His earnings also made him do innovative investment planning strategies, allotting huge cash for TGR—Tiger Woods Ventures, a business empire engaged in multiple businesses in sports and entertainment. Woods was able to maintain an impressive real-estate portfolio. For example, he owns a beachfront estate in Jupiter, Florida. Woods is also an owner of luxury cars, yachts, and jets. This explains his whopping net worth of $800 million, a couple hundred million away from being a billionaire. Woods may likely reach a billionaire status in the coming years if his businesses will still fly high.
