TINA MAZE
SKI RACING
NET WORTH: $3 MILLION

As a former ski racer, Tina Maze has been given credit as among the most celebrated athletes of Slovenia. Indeed, Maze won four medals at the Winter Olympic Games — a feat that only a few athletes were able to accomplish.

Born in Yugoslavia on May 2, 1983, Maze started skiing when she was just three years old. Many years after putting on skis, she made her debut at the age of 15 at the World Cup. It wasn’t until 2002 that she went professional for the first time, placing second in the giant slalom event. Later the same year, she participated in her first Olympic Winter Games in Park City, Utah, where she placed twelfth. In 2015, Maze announced she’ll be taking a break from competing to concentrate on getting a degree, and in 2016, she announced she’ll be retiring completely.
