American sprint sensation Sha’Carri Richardson has seen her net worth increase exponentially following her impressive 2023 campaign that included two gold medals
American sprint sensation Sha’Carri Richardson is now estimated to be worth $2 million (Ksh321 million) following a breakthrough 2023 season that saw her win two gold medals at the World Championships in Budapest.
Richardson was the most consistent 100m runner last year given of the eight fastest 100m times of 2023, she owned five, with the earliest of those coming back in May when she ran 10.76 with the outdoor season still in its infancy.
The difference is stark when compared to just a year earlier, where Richardson’s best 2022 time of 10.85 put her only 32nd highest on that year’s list and the athlete only registered three times in the top 100.

ATHLETICS Noah Lyles acknowledges skyrocketing confidence after another win in Boston
Noah Lyles's confidence has escalated after he beat Fred Kerley one more time to claim the top honours in the 60m race at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix.
Unlike in previous years, where the American has shone brightly but struggled to hold onto any rhythm throughout the season, 2023 saw Richardson peak at the optimal time.
Her 10.65 when winning gold at the 2023 World Championship in Budapest, Hungary was a true champion’s performance as she pulled out her very best when it mattered most.
The 23-year-old also added the 200m bronze and 4x100m relay gold to her collection of medals in Budapest which also included three Diamond League wins in 100m and it seems that has also seen her bank balance swell.
