LUDMILLA TOURISCHEVA
GYMNASTICS
NET WORTH: $220 MILLION

If you were a huge fan of gymnastics around the 1960s to the 1970s there is no way you could have missed Ludmilla Tourisheva. Not only did she take gymnastics to a whole new level, she also dominated every major international competition of the sport from 1970 to 1974, winning all rounds at the World Championships during those years. Apart from her perfect formations, she was also known for hyper-focusing and staying extremely calm during competitions, which was such a huge help in paving the way for her success — it is, after all, all about attitude and discipline.

Being a great sportswoman allowed her to marry an athlete who was just as good as her. She tied the knot with the two-time Olympic champion in sprinting, Valeriy Borzov. After she retired from being a world-class gymnast, she became a senior executive at a leading infrastructure investment company.
