“Resilience, patience, and the power of perseverance,” the role of the game of golf in Lexi Thompson’s journey has been massive. As Thompson unlocks a new chapter in her career, a glance through her run with golf has brought another thing into her life’s story: bountifulness. Standing atop her golfing career and looking at her plans for retirement after this season, Thompson’s power swings have gotten her glory as one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.

From making history as the youngest golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open at just 12 years, to winning her first event at 16, and her first major at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship when she was just 19, this 29-year-old has earned significantly at a very young age. So what is her net worth?

The 11-time LPGA Tour winner has earned an estimated total of $14,481,678 throughout her glory-filled career. Despite having won only one major in 2014, Thompson’s four runner-up finishes in the 2022 LPGA Tour season with her several top-10 finishes landed her the highest-paid female athlete in 2022, as per Forbes.

Factoring her golfing career with her endorsement deals and other entrepreneurial efforts, Lexi Thompson has an approximate net worth of $3 million in 2024. So what does Thompson feel at the epoch of her career? “Playing golf and being a top woman golfer, I just want to inspire people in general. To show that anything is possible and that I’m following my dreams. I’ve done it since I was five years old, (in the) spotlight since I was 12. You just have to block out everything and believe in yourself and go after what you want,” said Thompson, lending a ray of hope to all her young fans.

Having teed up and won 15 professional events in her runs both in the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour, there’s more to this top-level swinger’s financials than her long list of golfing achievements. But what is it?

Her history-curating presence on the golf course also paved the way for multiple brand endorsements. Thompson is currently signed a 3-year brand ambassador partnership for the leading global financial technology platform, iCapital.

Initiating their journey of togetherness, Lawrence Calcano, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iCapital said, “Lexi is passionate about everything she does, whether it’s playing golf, launching her own business, or helping others, and she serves as an excellent role model for the younger generation. Lexi’s dedication to excellence aligns with our commitment to our clients and partners. We are thrilled to welcome Lexi as an iCapital brand ambassador and look forward to kicking off the partnership and welcoming Lexi to our team.”

Apart from iCapital, Thompson collaborates with brands like Cobra-PUMA Golf, Red Bull, Zurich, and EA Sports, all of which recognize her strong enigma on and off the course. These long-going and highly profitable deals have contributed marginally towards her net worth. Previously, the 2-time Olympian possessed collaborative deals with Oakley, NatureBox, Jaybird, and Lexus.

But what about her entrepreneurial endeavors?

Apart from being a philanthropist and using her wealth to contribute significantly to the military and youth golf development, Thompson is also a true businesswoman. She owns her skincare brand, Lexi Skin. With the powerful color scheme of pink and white and the motto- “Skincare Made for You,” this brand has heavily contributed to strengthening this multi-faceted player’s financial prowess.

This copper-enriched skincare line for people with an active lifestyle like the LPGA star, promises “real results” and radiant-looking skin from “head to toe.” While the socials of this power-packed brand remain inactive since 2022, it’s safe to assume that retirement might turn the 29-year-old entrepreneur’s complete attention to building her brand stronger, and contribute even more heavily to her staunchly growing net worth. She also hopes to kick-start her fitness app by the end of this year.

While Lexi Thompson continues to bid her life in the golfing spotlight a heartfelt goodbye, her net worth is poised to continue on an upward trend, and hopefully grow over and beyond her current $3 million status.
