George Foreman – $300 Million

Most folks aren’t aware that George Foreman’s boxing journey has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Before becoming a champion, he started by competing in minor matches in 1967 and earned the moniker ‘Big George’ by both his fans and contemporaries. Foreman then took his career to greater heights when he joined the 1968 ‘Summer Olympics’ and won his first gold medal.

It’s been many years since Foreman graced the boxing ring, but that doesn’t mean he’s been out of the limelight. In fact, he gained fame as a spokesperson for a product named after him called the ‘George Foreman Grill.’ Thanks to its success, the former boxing champ further improved his financial standing, becoming $300-million richer in the process.
