Big Earner
In the 21st century, it's commonplace for sports stars to amass substantial wealth, with athletes in sports like football, basketball, and tennis earning seven-figure sums before turning 21. However, gymnasts face a more challenging path to substantial earnings. Nadia Comăneci's journey has come long since Romanian authorities paid her $1,000 for a tour that brought in $250,000.
Today, Nadia Comăneci and her family boast an estimated net worth of around $10 million. While some of this wealth stems from post-defection sponsorships, a significant portion has been amassed through her dedicated work on various business ventures over the four decades since she retired from competitive gymnastics.
