The number of stars that attended the Super Bowl Game this year is unbelievable. Stars like Chloe Kim, Shaun White, and even Usain Bolt attended the mega-event. Notably, Winter Olympics gold medalist Lindsey Vonn attended the match as well. In fact, Vonn posted a picture with Bolt in the stands, adding quite the question in her caption. Posting the picture, she asked her fans who was the faster athlete amongst the two? Not to forget, Vonn is an Olympic skier who took part in many competitions. With the speed she gains in the snow, it is a valid argument. However, Usain, being himself, feels otherwise. USAIN BOLT PUTS AN END TO LINDSEY VONN’S QUESTION Both of them are two of the fastest athletes in the world. While one is the fastest world-record holder of the men’s 100-meter competitions, the other slalomed her way to greatness. Not to mention, Bolt set a time [https://worldathletics.org/athletes/jamaica/usain-bolt-14201847] of 9.58 during the 2009 Athletics World Championships in Berlin, becoming the fastest man on earth. Hence, when it comes to answering the 2010 Olympic gold medalist’s question on ‘Who’s faster?’, Bolt [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/usain-bolt/] said, “Forever faster.” Despite her sheer greatness, nobody can come close to defeating Bolt in sprinting. Even though retired now, he is arguably going down as the fastest man alive on Earth. Nevertheless, it was great cheeky banter between the two world-class athletes.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-when-did-shaun-white-and-nina-dobrev-meet-each-other/] BOLT’S DOMINANCE IN THE 100-METERS It is hard for people to compare anyone to Bolt. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he paved the way for sprinting dominance for the next decade. He went on to win three consecutive gold medals in the 100 and 200-meter competitions, showcasing why he is the best in the world. Truly, Bolt is a legend in every way. As for Lindsey, her achievements in the sport are equally remarkable. Time and again, she scripted history on the snow with sheer determination and a strong mentality. Hence, in a perfect division, Bolt is the fastest man on land while Vonn is easily faster in snowy conditions.

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Lindsey Vonn to earn this much in 2024: Know more</strong> </span></h2>
With all her medal victories and other successes, Lindsey Vonn has aÂ net worth of $14 million. Her wealth is distributed among various ventures. Her book '<em>Strong is the New Beautiful' </em>fetched her income from its sales. Apart from that, she signed endorsement deals with Beats by Dre, Bounty, Hershey, Red Bull, Rolex, Oakley, and Under Armour.

Thus, all her endorsement deals came with her stunning performances throughout her career. She has also made money out of real estate. In May 2022, she paid $4.385 million for a home in Miami Beach, Florida, which she listed for sale after a year for $6 million.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Where does she hail from? Know about her parents, early life, and more</strong></h2>
Vonn was born in St Paul, Minnesota, on October 18th, 1984. She is the daughter of Linda Krohn and Alan Kildow. Growing up in the twin cities, her father is of Irish ancestry while her mother is of German and Norwegian ancestry. She started skiing at age two and the rest as they say is history.

Similarly, her father was a skier too, and won the junior national title. However, a serious injury when he was 18 forced him to end his career in skiing.

Her role model is Picabo Street, an Olympic medalist ski racer. From there, he was her mentor for skiing which led to unparalleled success. After moving to Vail, Colorado to train full-time, Vonn attended the University of Missouri High School online.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Lindsey Vonn Career so far: A Look into her Glorious Skiing Career</strong></h2>
In 1999, at the age of 14, Vonn's first victory came in a slalom race at Italy's Trofeo Topolino competition. Making her debut at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, she took part in the combined and slalom but managed to finish only sixth in the combined. But soon, success followed as she won a silver medal for downhill at the 2003 FÃ©dÃ©ration Internationale de Ski (FIS) junior world ski championships.

Being the favorite for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, she suffered a huge crash during the downhill training sessions and had to be airlifted from the site. After initial claims of a broken back, Vonn returned to the competition after two days. Although she did not win a medal, her courage was incredible as the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award. After her recovery from the crash, she won silver medals in the downhill and super-G competitions at the 2007 World Championships.

The aura of Vonn is that she always returned from injuries and provided a sense of spark in the competitions. Her determination is unmatched as she had her best season during 2007-08. Her first overall World Cup title came dominantly, scoring 1403 points. More success followed at World Championships but the penultimate race of her career came during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-alpine-skiing-news-sports-world-hails-superwoman-lindsey-vonn-for-her-grand-comeback-despite-career-changing-injury/" target="_self" rel="noopener">With all her injuries</a>, she fetched her first Olympic gold medal in the downhill event followed by a bronze medal in the Super-G competition. More trophies and accolades followed as she won her fourth World Cup title at the end of the 2011-12 season. Yet another injury hampered her progress as she suffered serious knee injuries. With the injuries, she was forced to withdraw from the 2014 Winter Olympics. With victories here and there, the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics saw her win a bronze medal in the downhill event.

It was a memorable moment for Vonn who had an incredible career. After the 2019 World Championships where she won another bronze medal for downhill skiing, Vonn decided to retire. An incredible journey came to an end.

<h1>Usain Bolt</h1>
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Usain Bolt 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
"Lightning Bolt", Usain Bolt is the greatest sprinter of all time. His performances during 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics remain legendary. He is the current world record holder in the 100 and 200-meter races. After winning eight gold medals in the Olympics, Bolt announced his retirement from athletics to focus on other dreams.

His net worth stands at $90 million, and makes around $20 million annually. Staggeringly, he made $2.2 million for just appearing on race tracks and winning those races. However, due to fraudulent activities reported against Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), Bolt lost around $13 million earlier this year.

Following his retirement, the endorsement deals came for Bolt at a rapid pace. His first sponsor was Puma back when they signed him in 2002. Digicel, a mobile company, became his next favorite sponsor. The Puma contract which initially started from $1.5 million rose to $10 million.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1270954 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-19-at-1.36.30-PM.jpeg" alt="" width="800" height="533" />

He later signed deals with Gatorade, Hublot, Virgin, and Visa. He launched his own design of headphones named Soul Electronics. Bolt earns $9 million dollars for just wearing Puma shoes. All Nippon Airways, Enertor, and Australian telecom company Optus were other endorsement deals he signed. Moreover, he started his own company named Mobility while also having a shaving brand- Champion Shave.

He released a new album named <em>'Country Yutes'</em> with his friend Nugent 'NJ' Walker and contributes to different charity organizations.
<h2><strong>Usain Bolt's early life</strong></h2>
Bolt was born in Sherwood Content, Jamaica on 21st August 1986 to parents Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt. He has a brother Sadiki and a sister Sherine. His parents ran a local grocery store in the little Jamaican town.

The sprinter played cricket and soccer apart from athletics. He kept his passion for football throughout his career and is still an avid Manchester United fan.

He attended Waldensia Primary where he showed his undoubted potential in sprinting competitions. After that, he attended the William Knibb Memorial High School where his cricket coach saw his speed and urged him to focus on athletics. Pablo McNeil and Dwayne Jarrett coached Bolt to become a sprinter.

Significantly, he received his first medal during the high school annual championships in 2001 as he took the silver medal in 200m with a time of 22.04 seconds. At age 16, he became the first teenager to come under the 20s time barrier and posted a time of 19.93.

He made his first appearance on the world stage at the 2001 IAAF World Youth Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. Though he failed to qualify for the finals in the 200 m event, he still set a new personal best of 21.73 s.

In the 2002 World Junior Championships, he covered the 200 m distance in the timeframe of 20.61 s and became the youngest world junior medalist ever. Following his momentous victory in 2002, he won four golds at the 2003 CARIFTA Games and was awarded the Austin Sealy Trophy for the most outstanding athlete of the games. <sup id="cite_ref-carifta1_40-0" class="reference"></sup><sup id="cite_ref-carifta2_41-0" class="reference"></sup><sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"></sup>He won another gold at the 2003 World Youth Championships. However, despite all those early successes, a hamstring injury affected his performance as he finished last at the 2004 Athens Olympics heats for 200 meters. More heartbreak followed as Bolt finished last in the 2005 Track and Field World Championships.

After struggling with injuries, Bolt reappeared for the 2007 World Championships where he grabbed the silver medal in the 200-meter race. After seeing what he could do, Bolt wanted to compete in the 100-meters as well.

Thus, he made his grand entry on the 3rd of May 2008. Notably, he set a time of 9.72 seconds to claim a sensational 100-meter victory.

Beijing Olympics 2008 saw him winning three gold medals in the 100, 200, and 4 × 100 meters; however, he was stripped of the relay gold after an athlete failed a drug test. He created a world record in both the 100m and 200m races by setting a time of 9.69 and 19.30 respectively. The signature Bolt pose made its debut at the Beijing Olympics.

Remarkably, he improved on his world record at the 2009 World Championships after setting a time of 9.58 and 19.19 in both the aforementioned races. Bolt clocked a top speed of 27.8 miles per hour during the 100-meter sprint.

The 2012 London Olympics saw him win another three gold medals in his signature events. More success followed during the 2013 and 2015 World Championships as he kept on producing golds.

But, the 2016 Rio Olympics saw him elevate himself to GOAT status. Succeeding in all the events once again, Bolt became the first person to win golds in the two individual sprints in three straight Olympics.

His last race saw Bolt finishing in 3rd place in the 100-meter sprint at the 2017 World Championships and he retired after struggling with hamstring injuries.

As much as the Jamaican is famous for his lightning bolt speed, his signature celebration pose is equally <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-bro-is-jogging-resurfaced-video-of-usain-bolts-seconds-run-leaves-sports-world-in-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recognized across the continents</a>. The celebration gesture first made its appearance in 2008 London Olympics. The pose comes from a Jamaican dancehall move that was popular in 2008.

Interestingly, in 2022 the Jamaican sprinter submitted an application for the trademark of his iconic pose. The logo depicts the silhouette of a man in a distinctive pose, with one arm bent and pointing to the head, and the other arm raised and pointing upward.

<h2><strong>Usain Bolt's partner Kasi Bennett and their children</strong></h2>
Kasi Bennett is a Jamaican model, philanthropist, lawyer and an entrepreneur. Bolt met Kasi for the first time in 2014, and since then, the couple has been together. Though the couple haven't got married, they share three children together. In 2020, the pair welcomed their daughter, Olympia Lightning. Then, in 2021, Bolt and Bennett became the parents of twin boys - Thunder Bolt and Saint Bolt.

<h2><strong>Usain Bolt and his unfortunate Investment fraud</strong></h2>
On 16th January 2023, the news of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-amidst-12-7-million-loss-usain-bolt-receives-a-huge-honor-for-his-non-sports-career/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Usain Bolt losing $12.7 million</a> of his savings in a financial scam took the sporting world by storm. The sprinter lost a huge chunk of his retirement money in an investment scam carried out by an internal employee at Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL). More so, after losing nearly $13 million in the fiasco, the Olympian was left with $12,000 in his account.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1465502 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-01-19-at-8.47.04-AM.jpeg" alt="" width="612" height="407" />

Ever since the investment fraud came to light, Bolt shared a series of messages on his social media handles. On 18th January 2023, the sprinter tweeted a cryptic message and penned, "<em>A time to keep...and a time to speak; A time of war, and a time of..</em>.". Then, on 23rd January 2023, the Jamaican sprinter shared a picture of himself on Twitter and penned, "<em>Look into my eyes, tell me what you see, can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy? ~ BK</em>".

As the fraud which is estimated to be around billions overall was made public, the attorneys of Usain Bolt sent a final ultimatum to the private firm on 16th January 2023. As verified by Loop, the letter contained information about the amount of money Bolt had on 31st October 2022, which was $12 million.
<h2><strong>Usain Bolt and his soccer connection</strong></h2>
Apart from being an athlete, Bolt's love for soccer is evident as he follows Real Madrid and Manchester United. After retiring in 2017, the Lightning Bolt decided to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/soccer-football-us-sports-track-and-field-news-glory-days-are-coming-back-hardcore-manchester-united-fan-usain-bolt-gives-his-honest-take-on-red-devils-change-in-fortunes-under-erik-ten-hag/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bolt aspired to play for Manchester United</a> but it was Borussia Dortmund who handed the sprinter a two-day trial in March 2018. However, later he joined Central Coast Mariners. During his eight-week trial Down Under, Bolt appeared in a pre-season friendly against Macarthur South West United and scored two goals.

In 2018, he started training for Strømsgodset, a club from Norway of his love for football. His jersey donned the 9.58 number (his world record time) during his spell there; likewise, he wore it during Soccer Aid's matches too.

However, in January 2019, Bolt announced to the world that he was no longer pursuing his dream of becoming a footballer. He said, "<em>It was fun while it lasted. I don't want to say it wasn't dealt with properly, but I think e went about it not the way we should"</em>. Nonetheless, the Olympian left the football arena to enter into the business domain.

Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt Usain Bolt 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements &#8220;Lightning Bolt&#8221;, Usain Bolt is the greatest sprinter of all time. His performances during 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics remain legendary. He is the current world record holder in the 100 and 200-meter races. After winning eight gold medals in the Olympics, Bolt announced his retirement from athletics to focus on other dreams. His net worth stands at $90 million, and makes around $20 million annually. Staggeringly, he made $2.2 million for just appearing on race tracks and winning those races. However, due to fraudulent activities reported against Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), Bolt lost around $13 million earlier this year. Following his retirement, the endorsement deals came for Bolt at a rapid pace. His first sponsor was Puma back when they signed him in 2002. Digicel, a mobile company, became his next favorite sponsor. The Puma contract which initially started from $1.5 million rose to $10 million. He later signed deals with Gatorade, Hublot, Virgin, and Visa. He launched his own design of headphones named Soul Electronics. Bolt earns $9 million dollars for just wearing Puma shoes. All Nippon Airways, Enertor, and Australian telecom company Optus were other endorsement deals he signed. Moreover, he started his own company named Mobility while also having a shaving brand- Champion Shave. He released a new album named &#8216;Country Yutes&#8217; with his friend Nugent &#8216;NJ&#8217; Walker and contributes to different charity organizations. Usain Bolt&#8217;s early life Bolt was born in Sherwood Content, Jamaica on 21st August 1986 to parents Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt. He has a brother Sadiki and a sister Sherine. His parents ran a local grocery store in the little Jamaican town. The sprinter played cricket and soccer apart from athletics. He kept his passion for football throughout his career and is still an avid Manchester United fan. He attended Waldensia Primary where he showed his undoubted potential in sprinting competitions. After that, he attended the William Knibb Memorial High School where his cricket coach saw his speed and urged him to focus on athletics. Pablo McNeil and Dwayne Jarrett coached Bolt to become a sprinter.
