EMMA CORBURN
TRACK AND FIELD
NET WORTH: $5.5 MILLION

This 28-year-old athlete has acquired most of her self-made fortune by being one of the world’s most successful runners. She is a middle-distance runner known for setting a jaw-dropping record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the Olympic Games back in 2016. This was because she has constantly been winning the United States National Championship in the 3,000-meter steeplechase from 2011 to 2016. If that isn’t impressive enough, I don’t know what is. While this unstoppable athlete was acquiring her college degree at the University of Colorado in 2010, she was able to win the Pac-12 steeplechase title when she was in her sophomore year, finishing second in the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships.

As her career took off successfully in the world of sports, this sought-after runner got the privilege to be an endorser of one of the biggest sports companies in the world. She has an exclusive sponsorship deal with Nike, and she wears the brand as a badge of honor whenever she’s in a competition.
