In 2022, Forbes officially recognized Tiger Woods as a billionaire, becoming the first golfer with a fortune exceeding 1 billion USD. Having earned a “huge” amount of money, Woods is willing to spend millions of dollars heavily on luxury pleasures and even invest in large business projects. Let’s explore the dream fortune of the U50 billionaire…

In June 2022, Tiger Woods became one of three athletes included in Forbes’ list of billionaires. The remaining two are American basketball superstar LeBron James and Michael Jordan, who became a billionaire after retiring thanks to his investment in the Charlotte Hornets basketball team.

However, Woods’ total income is estimated (including taxes and fees) to be 1.7 billion USD, making Super Tiger the richest billionaire among sports athletes in the world, far exceeding the total income of famous football players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. At his peak, Woods was the highest-earning athlete in history with $100 million per year, holding the number one position on Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes for 10 consecutive years (counting to 2012).

Notably, Woods surpassed the billion-dollar mark despite turning down a “huge” offer from the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf system, which according to Greg Norman was worth around “nine big figures”. This means that Tiger Woods’ net worth would be much higher if he signed this agreement.

Woods’ income

Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer in history. When he was just 15 years old, he won the Junior World Golf Championships six times. After 27 years of professional competition, Woods has 82 PGA Tour victories, equaling the record with the late Sam Snead. Among them, Tiger Woods won the major 15 times, including 5 times wearing the Green Jacket. This achievement makes Woods the golfer with the second most major titles of all time, behind Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 titles.

According to a Forbes report, Woods earned $121 million in competition bonuses alone. No professional golfer in history has had such a large tournament income. However, that income only accounts for 10% of his total career income, the remaining 90% comes from sponsorship contracts and business projects.

Tiger Woods has a yacht named Privacy – which he bought in 2004 from Christensen Shipyards, for about 20 million USD – when he was only 29 years old and had only been “in the profession” for 9 years. After the 2010 divorce, there were rumors that Woods considered selling Privacy for $25 million. However, this yacht was not ultimately sold.

According to a 2019 USA Today report, maintaining the Privacy yacht costs $2 million per year. It has a range of about 6,500 km and can move at a maximum speed of 17 knots.

The McLaren version can reach a maximum speed of 336 km/h and accelerate 0-96 km/h. h in 3.6 seconds on a 5.4-liter V8 engine with 651 horsepower.

The car is sold at a starting price of $100,000 to $150,000. However, its resale value is much higher because this is a high-end car that is sought after by collectors. For example, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster, the roadster version of the car, sold for $1.45 million in 2018.
