Who’s The Richest Athlete Of ALL TIME?

Who is the richest athlete (net worth)  in America right now? It isn't Michael Jordan. It isn't Lansing's own Magic Johnson. And it isn't Tiger Woods.

No, the richest athlete in America is... golfer Arnold Palmer. He is now worth $675 Million. Click here to get the full list from celebritynetworth.com

This list has Formula One driver Michael Schumacher at No. 2, but he's German, and has WWE CEO Vince McMahon as number ONE, but I would categorize him more as a promoter, and not really as a full time athlete. Here's a great related story (click here) about how Dallas Cowboy QB Roger Staubach got to have a net worth of $600 Million. And it wasn't from his $25,000 salary they paid him as a rookie.

Believe it or not kids, back in the 70's, NFL players had to have off-season jobs just to make ends meet. And that's where the magic started for Staubach.
