From the Court to the Bank: Athletes and Their Respective Net Worth

Next on our list, with a net worth of 40 million USD, is Mia Hamm, one of the most recognizable female athletes the United States has ever produced. She played on the United States national soccer team for 17 years and competed in four FIFA women’s World Cups. She was the first woman inducted into the World Football Hall of Fame.

Her high net worth is due partly to the huge number of endorsement deals she had while playing soccer internationally, including with Gatorade, Pepsi, Nabisco, and Nike. She’s used her fame and fortune for good: her Mia Hamm Foundation promotes awareness of families in need of cord blood or bone marrow transplants.
