The
accuracy of net worth lists ought to be viewed, at a minimum, with a modicum of
skepticism, but they are interesting nonetheless, notably when Diddy is shown
to be worth more than Tiger and a 21-year-old woman is worth more than either
of them
Tiger
Woods ranked in a tie with author James Patterson for
ninth at $800 million, which positions himself in the years ahead to have a go
at adding “billionaire” to descriptions of him.
Lest
he get too cocky, Michael
Jordan is worth more than twice as much, at $1.7 billion, fourth on the
list.
Just ahead of Tiger is Diddy at $825 million, while Kylie Jenner,
the wunderkind who is the sole owner of Kylie Cosmetics, is No. 5 at $900
million.
George Lucas is a runaway No. 1 at $5.4 billion.
Last year, Woods was ranked eighth at $750
million. Woods’ improbable comeback from injuries, capped by a
victory in the Tour Championship, already has paid dividends to his bottom line
in 2018 and is likely to continue doing so into the future. Last month, it was
announced that Woods has signed a multi-year deal with Discovery Inc. to
provide content on its streaming video platform, GOLFTV.
He also has endorsement contracts with Nike, TaylorMade,
Bridgestone, Hero MotorCorp, Monster Energy and Kowa, the latter a Japanese
pharmaceutical company.
