American professional golfer, Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods, has an estimated net worth of $500 million as of September 2010 according to Forbes Magazine’s Billionaires In The Making. In 2009, Forbes confirmed that Woods was indeed the world’s first athlete to earn over a billion dollars in his career (before taxes), after accounting for the $10 million bonus Woods received for the FedEx Cup title. The same year, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $600 million, making him the second richest “African American” behind Oprah Winfrey.

He assumes $130 million in career prize money and $900 million in revenue from endorsements, appearance fees and golf course design business since 1996. His agents, tax and recently divorced wife Elin Nordegren have all gotten pieces of those earnings. Woods had to fork over an estimated $100 million to his ex wife Elin in the divorce settlement. But he might make it to 10 figures if he starts winning again and sponsors return. Woods has struggled to win tournaments and sign new sponsorship deals since his November 2009 car crash and the infidelity scandal that followed. Yet Woods continues to be the world’s best-paid athlete thanks to $3 million overseas appearance fees and two sponsors that stuck with him: Nike and Electronic Arts. He was born December 30, 1975 in December 30, 1975 in Cypress, California.
