The Jamaican is the world record holder in both the 100m and 200m, records he set during the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany, when he was 22 years old.

The father of three has managed to make a name for himself over the years and working with him will definitely require you to have big chunks of money.

As reported by Essentially Sports, Bolt’s net worth is approximately $90 million which amounts to Ksh 12,941,370,810. In a year, Bolt makes around $20 million which is Ksh 2,923,000,000.

Back in his track career days, it’s reported that he was paid $2.2 million (Ksh 318,004,053) for just appearing on race tracks and winning those races.

However, due to fraudulent activities reported against Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), Bolt unfortunately lost around $13 million (Ksh 1,899,950,000) earlier this year.

Following his retirement, the endorsement deals came for Bolt at a rapid pace. His first sponsor was Puma back when they signed him in 2002.
