We are extremely fortunate to live in an era when information is readily available, allowing us to learn about what is going on in the lives of our favorite athletes after they have retired. NBA players are incredible, and they continue to amaze us even when they’re not on the court, so this time, let’s look at athletes from various sports and see how much money they’ve made (or are currently earning) from playing their sport!
Mike Tyson
Career Earnings: $300 million*
Current Net Worth: $3 million*
After his debut in 1985, he became known as a true boxing hero for his skill in the ring. Despite earning nearly $300 million during his 20-year career, Tyson managed to squander it all. In reality, Tyson is as well-known for his extravagant spending habits as he is for his athletic accomplishments. Tyson also spent millions on a series of Ferrari NV supercars and some unusual purchases, such as a white tiger. He was once one of the wealthiest men in his field, but now his net worth is only $3 million.
Peyton Manning
Career Earnings: $248 million*
Current Net Worth: $250 million*
Peyton Manning, who spent 18 seasons with both the Colts and the Broncos, is one of the most well-known quarterbacks of all time. Manning has been able to keep the majority of his $248 million in earnings throughout his career. After making memorable sponsorship appearances for Papa John’s International Inc., he did, however, retire in 2016. Shortly after starting his NFL career, he founded the Peyback Foundation. The Peyton’s Places TV show was created by this organization to help disadvantaged children make the most of their lives.
