LINDSEY VONN
ALPINE SKI
NET WORTH: $8 MILLION

Skiing may be one of the only few sports in the world that has almost the same level of pay given to men and women. Unfortunately, they also share the same risks, so getting an acceptable health insurance policy is a must. Good thing, Lindsey Vonn took risks and rewards at heart, and all of that dedication paid off big time for her. Lindsey Vonn’s bank account is estimated to have reached $8 million.

Vonn got herself a present with four World Cup overall championships under her belt, and she is one of the only two female skiers to achieve this spectacular feat. In the 2010 Winter Olympics, she grabbed the gold chip at the downhill event, which is the first gold win for the US in the women’s division. She truly deserves a spot as the most successful American ski racer of all-time.
