Pro Athletes That Aren't Nearly As Rich As You Thought

Pro athletes can make a fortune through contracts and endorsements, but managing that wealth requires a skill set unto itself, and certain pros have definitely needed more practice pinching pennies. Here are some world-class athletes who are poorer than you thought.

Lindsey Vonn has won multiple Olympic medals and claimed plenty of top titles in her journey to becoming one of the greatest skiers of all time. She also has a high profile off the slopes, having appeared on a number of talk shows. So considering all that, it's a little surprising to learn that the now-retired Vonn has a relatively small fortune, at reportedly just $6 million.

Vonn has actually made a significant amount of her money via endorsement deals with the likes of Red Bull, Rolex, and Under Armour. She's revealed that she hopes to get female ski racers more publicity while giving them the push and the platforms that they need to make more money than they do through competitions only. Keep watching the video to discover more pro athletes that aren't nearly as rich as you thought.
