  • The wealth of the world's celebrities is often the subject of misleading online advertisements. So when we saw questions about professional golfer Tiger Woods' net worth in relation to other athletes after his vehicle crashed on Feb. 23, 2021, we decided to take a closer look. In the past, strange ads grabbed readers' attention with headlines like: Tiger Woods's Net Worth Doesn't Make Any Sense ... Leaves America Speechless! Another claimed: Tiger Woods' Net Worth Revealed And It's Upsetting. These ads were nothing but misleading clickbait that led to lengthy slideshow articles. As for Woods' actual net worth, ESPN and Forbes reported in 2018 that it stood at $800 million. However, another name reigned supreme on the 2018 list. NBA legend Michael Jordan reportedly had a net worth of $1.7 billion, more than double that of Woods. ESPN reported how each athlete grew their wealth: In 2020, Forbes reported yet again on Woods' finances. This time it was only about income from the previous year. That story said he was the eighth highest-paid athlete. He earned $62.3 million in the preceding 12 months. Some $60 million of that figure was reportedly just from endorsement deals. Tennis star Roger Federer topped the list of earners that year with $106.3 million. Woods also trailed behind NBA icons LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. Woods' career is full of exceptional accomplishments in the world of golf. Among his 15 major championship wins were five victories at the Masters Tournament and four at the PGA Championship. In sum, Woods' net worth was the greatest of all professional athletes in terms of active players. However, if all active and retired players were taken into account, Michael Jordan was number 1.
