The list of active billionaire athletes has now doubled with the long-anticipated addition of golf legend Tiger Woods, who is now estimated by Forbes to have a fortune of $1.7 billion.
Tiger Woods has joined Forbes' list of billionaire athletes alongside NBA legends Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Woods has an estimated fortune of $1.7billion. Woods became a billionaire without joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series, which pried rival Phil Mickelson away from the PGA Tour for $200 million.

Woods's wealth is largely the result of endorsement deals and other entrepreneurial endeavors, rather than income tied directly to playing sports. Woods survived a near-fatal car crash in 2021; he's still working back from injury. Woods bought a yacht for a reported $20 million in 2004, and has a $54.
