Nancy Kerrigan tops annual list of highest-paid athletes
In 2022 it looked like the athlete’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Kerrigan is the highest-paid athlete in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 million lead over her closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American athlete has an estimated net worth of $275 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Kerrigan Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Woburn Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkerrigan - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nancy) and a fashion line called “Nancy Kerrigan Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nancy fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
