The Richest Athletes in the World

Arnold Palmer, Net Worth: $675 Million

Not many people are famous enough to have a drink named after them, let alone an entirely non-alcoholic one. Arnold Palmer, king of the iced tea and lemonade combination, is also known as one of the greatest golfers ever to play the game and is rightfully called “The King.” On top of his millions of dollars of golf tournament earnings over his lifetime, Palmer ingeniously sold the rights to his signature drink to the AriZona Beverage Company; proceeds for that drink brought in over $100 million in 2012 alone. Regrettably, the sporting world lost Arnold when he passed away on September 25, 2016.
