Tiger Woods, Net Worth: $700 Million

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two decades, you know who Tiger Woods is and that he is not only incredibly good at golf, but also very, very rich. Despite his undeniable skill in the sport of golf, surprisingly, much of Woods’ $50-$60 million-a-year earnings come not from tournaments but from endorsements and royalties from his incredibly popular video game sales. In recent years, Woods has endured public humiliation - his multiple affairs came to light and destroyed his marriage - as well as multiple back injuries, but his endorsements continue to bring in the dough despite his lighter tournament schedule.
