How Much The Iconic Golfer Is Actually Worth

The golfer became a household name in 1997 when he won the Masters at the age of 21 (via MSNBC). Woods immediately signed advertising deals, including one with Nike, that at one point were the most lucrative deals in golf history. Even though the 45-year-old is ranked 43rd globally, according to current PGA rankings, fans may be surprised to learn that he is still the highest-paid golfer.

Forbes estimated that Woods earns $62.3 million. MSNBC also reported that Woods makes his money work for him, since he owns a $55 million property measuring around 10 acres, and a $54 million private jet, not to mention his $25 million yacht. While winning titles helps, it's a drop in the bucket compared to his endorsements. Forbes reported that $2.3 million of his earnings came from his winnings, while $60 million came from his sponsorships. Remarkably since turning professional in 1996, the father of two has earned $1.5 billion. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Woods is worth about $800 million.
