A star athlete at the University of Wisconsin, current NFL star Russel Wilson has played for the Seattle Seahawks since 2012. Of course, Wilson’s now most famous for the Super Bowl ring around his finger, which he earned in 2013. The win pushed Wilson to A-list celebrity status, earning him plenty of major endorsements from brands like Nike. Now, he’s worth an incredible $115 million!

However, unlike many of the other wealthiest sports stars in the world, Wilson is not too picky about what endorsements he takes on. For instance, between 2018 and 2019, he made $90 million from endorsements alone. That’s nearly double what most of his fellow players earn. Add onto that his “regular” NFL salary of $35 million a year, and it no surprise he’s one of the wealthiest sports stars in the world!
