Tiger Woods Officially A Billionaire, No Thanks To The SaudisTriumph, injury, scandal, failure and triumph again have filled the intervening years. But through it all, the 46-year-old Woods has maintained his
supremacy as one of the top-earning athletes in the world, raking in over $1.7 billion in salary, endorsements and other income over the course of his 27-year career.
Forbes now estimates
his net worth to be at least $1 billion, based on his lifetime earnings, making him one of just three known athlete billionaires.
Woods has reached that rarified air despite reportedly turning down a “mind-blowingly enormous”
offer from the new Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour, a deal that LIV CEO Greg Norman told the Washington Post would’ve been in the “high nine digits.”
Yet to this point, less than 10% of Woods’ career earnings, and net worth, comes from golf winnings. The bulk of his fortune comes from
enormous endorsement deals with more than a dozen brands.
