Sugar Ray Leonard – $120 Million

In a rough and tough world of combat sports, Sugar Ray Leonard earned his nickname due to his sweet nature early in his training as a boxer. Don’t be deceived, though; he reigned supreme in the ring, throwing knockout punches that have earned him numerous world titles in five different weight categories and over $50 million in purses alone.

Ray has worked hard to garner a net worth of $120 million during his professional career, competing in a sport that he didn’t quite enjoy. When he had his gloves on, his mantra was simple – learn to give rather than receive and get knocked off. Remarkably, he has won over people’s admiration and respect, along with trophies and accolades.
