Noah Lyles is one of the most decorated track and field athletes. Lyles is known for his 100-meter and 200-meter finesse. He is the current world champion in the 100-meter and 200-meter categories and also helped Team USA win the 4x100 world title.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Noah Lyles Net Worth: How much the Olympian will earn in 2024</b></h2>
As of 2023, Noah Lylesâ€™ estimated net worth is estimated to be $7 million. His primary earning sources are mainly the cash prizes that he won during the various track and field events, and he also earns through brand promotions. Another major source of his recent income is his multi-year endorsement deal with Nike. He has also added renowned brands like Gatorade and Beats by Dre to his endorsement bag. His net worth kicked off at the age of 19 when he had a huge collaboration with sporting apparel giant Adidas.

Meanwhile, Lyles also has invested in real estate properties and made a good amount of money with his endorsement deals through his social media accounts. With his growing presence in the digital world, brands recognize Lyles' value.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Which country does Noah Lyles hail from: Know more about his early life and family</strong></h2>
Born on July 18, 1997, in Gainesville, Florida, Noah Lyles began his athletic journey as a gymnast during his early years. Then he transitioned to track and field at the age of 12 and kept excelling in the sport. Both his parents, Keisha Caine and Kevin Lyles, were track and field athletes and competed for Seton Hall University.

Lyles' father was a member of the team that emerged victorious in the 4x400-meter relay event at the 1995 world championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. Noah Lyles pursued his education at the T. C. Williams High School currently known as Alexandria City High School while simultaneously honing his track and field skills.

Lyles has a younger brother named Josephus Lyles, who is also a renowned track and field runner. Josephus went to T. C. Williams High School, and in 2016, he signed a deal with Adidas along with his elder brother and embarked on his professional journey.

Josephus was part of the team that won the 4x400-meter relay at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene. He also secured a bronze and a silver in 200 meters and 400 meters, respectively, at the 2015 World Youth Championships. In addition to this, he also clinched a bronze medal in the 200-meter event at the 2022 NACAC Championships.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lyles in Olympics: A look at his glorious track and field career</strong></h2>
Noah Lyles rose to prominence when he stood atop the podium at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in the 200-meter event. During his Olympic trials in 2016, Lyles failed to qualify in the 100-meter event, but he managed to make it to the 200-meter event after winning the semi-finals, and he created history after placing fourth with a sensational finish of 20.09 seconds and breaking the 31-year-old record in the national high school category.

He secured gold and silver in 100 meters and 200 meters, respectively, at the Pan American U20 Championships. And in 2017, Lyles broke the indoor 300-meter world record after posting a finish of 31.87 seconds at the US Indoor Championships.

In 2018, he achieved two gold medals in the 100 meters and 4x100 meters, respectively, at the Continental Cup. Moreover, he stands out as one of the most accomplished athletes in the history of the Diamond League, having clinched the league finals five times.

His first victory came in 2017 with a gold in the 200 meters, followed by another gold in the same event the following year. In 2019, he accomplished a remarkable double triumph in both the 100 meters and 200 meters, marking a significant milestone in his career. Additionally, he secured victory in the 200-meter Diamond League finals in 2022, making him one of the most successful Diamond League runners.

His journey to the World Championships is nothing short of a dream. Lyles became the world champion for the first time in 2019 in Doha. He won the 200-meter heat after clocking a stupendous time of 19.83 seconds, leaving behind the likes of Andre De Grasse and Lex Quinez.

Later in the same event, he also helped Team USA win the 4x100-meter relay event. In 2022, he replicated his 2019 performance at Hayward Field Eugene and again became the world champion in the 200 meters after a 19.31-second finish. In 2021, Lyles also managed to claim an Olympic medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after his 19.74-second finish in the 200 meters.

In August 2023, during the Budapest World Athletics Championships, he <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-track-and-field-news-olympics-news-nba-news-american-hero-noah-lyles-receives-huge-honor-in-nyc-amidst-clash-with-nba-world/" target="_self" rel="noopener">achieved a remarkable feat</a> by winning both the 100-meter and 200-meter titles with times of 9.83 seconds and 19.52 seconds, respectively.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Usain Bolt as a competitor: Noah Lyles's rivalry with the Olympic greatÂ </strong></h2>
On July 23rd, Noah Lyles broke Usain Bolt's record for most 200-meter wins under 20 seconds at the London Diamond League. He made history as the first sprinter in the world to complete 200-meter heats in under 20 seconds, achieving this remarkable feat a record 35 times. He achieved this remarkable feat when he finished his 200-meter heat in 19.47 seconds in London.

In addition to this, Noah has made a bold promise to surpass Usain Bolt's 200-meter record of 19.19 seconds. He has made several close attempts, but the record is yet to be broken.

He is one of those runners who idolizes Bolt and once had an encounter with him as well. <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-after-fifteen-years-of-triumph-noah-lyles-steals-usain-bolts-long-standing-record-of-hundred-m-and-two-hundred-m-glory-at-world-athletics-championship/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lyles and Bolt met during the Racers Grand Prix 2023</a>, when Lyles won his race, Bolt was present in the dugout. Bolt and Lyles exchanged a high-five and a warm hug. During their conversation, Bolt expressed his admiration for Lyles and encouraged him to maintain his positive attitude, emphasizing its importance in the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Beyond the right: Controversies that became part of his life</strong></h2>
Apart from his decorated track and field career, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-nba-basketball-news-following-his-temporary-silence-noah-lyles-ends-nba-slant-with-a-bold-take-the-world-is-very-much-on-my-side/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lyles also garnered scrutiny after his comments about NBA</a> champions. In a post-event interview, Lyles shared his opinion about NBA champions calling themselves world champions. To this, Lyles replied, <em>"World champions of what?" </em>He stated that the league takes place only in the United States, and they should not call themselves the world champions. He also added that he loves the United States but it's not the entire world.

He was heavily criticized for his statements by NBA stars like Juan Toscano-Anderson, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant, who said that Lyles has lost his mind and needs help. Some other NBA players, like Aaron Gordon, even issued an open challenge to Lyles for a 200-meter heat. Apart from the NBA players, he was also trolled by the fans. These NBA legends were also joined by the famous Canadian rapper and singer Drake, who said, "<em>He thought this speech was gonna be so hard in the mirror the night before? now the whole league doesn't rate u</em>."

However, it was not a one-sided battle for Lyles, as he garnered support from his track and field counterparts, Fred Kerley and Rai Benjamin. While Benjamin tweeted in support of Lyles and wrote <em>"NBA triggered dawg," </em>and Kerley also tweeted a cryptic message on his Twitter, Sha'Carri Richardson and Emmanuel Acho have also tweeted in support of Lyles.
